Stay Alfred

aid: stay-alfred
name: Stay Alfred
description: 'Stay Alfred Inc. was a Spokane, Washington short-term-rental and hospitality operator that pioneered the "travel
  apartment" — full apartments in walkable downtown cores, leased in bulk from multifamily building owners and operated with
  hotel-style consistency, cleaning and guest support. Founded in 2011 by Jordan Allen, who was named EY Entrepreneur Of The
  Year for the Pacific Northwest in 2019, the company grew to roughly 2,000-2,500 units across 28 to 33 U.S. markets including
  Denver, San Diego, Miami, New Orleans and Nashville, hosted around half a million guests, and employed more than 230 people.
  It raised approximately $62M in total venture funding, headlined by a $47M Series B in October 2018 led by Chicago real-estate
  technology fund Nine Four Ventures. Distribution ran through its own consumer booking site and the major online travel agencies,
  so Stay Alfred was an API CONSUMER rather than an API publisher; it never operated a developer program, public API, SDK,
  webhook catalog or machine-readable specification. COVID-19 ended it: the company closed every property nationwide from
  1 April 2020, a rescue funding round was withdrawn at the last minute, and on 20 May 2020 Stay Alfred announced it would
  close permanently, winding down through mid-2020 while it had been on track for roughly $100M in revenue that year. The
  stayalfred.com domain is still on its original 2013 registration but is no longer controlled by the company: it is privacy-shielded,
  Cloudflare-hosted, and every path now 301-redirects into a rotating chain of unrelated third-party sites. This profile is
  retained as a historical record; there is no API surface to enrich.'

x-shutdown-note: Suspended all operations nationwide on 1 April 2020 because of the COVID-19 collapse in travel demand, then
  announced a permanent closure on 20 May 2020 after investors withdrew a committed rescue round. More than 230 employees
  were let go.
x-domain-status: repointed
x-domain-note: stayalfred.com retains its original 2013-01-05 registration and has not been dropped, but the registrant is
  now shielded behind Domains By Proxy, the nameservers were moved to Cloudflare, and the host serves no Stay Alfred content.
  Every path — including /openapi.json and every /.well-known/ path — returns a Cloudflare HTTP 301 whose Location ROTATES
  between unrelated business sites (loganantiquemall.net, masonjarbrewing.com, northeastseafood.com, harvestkaplankaya.com).
  The only 200 on the host is /robots.txt, which is Cloudflare's default Content-Signals boilerplate served by the edge. See
  well-known/stay-alfred-well-known.yml. It is NOT the Stay Alfred company site and is deliberately not wired as a Website
  pointer.
x-secondary-market-listing: https://forgeglobal.com/stay-alfred_stock/
x-secondary-market-listing-note: The Forge Global page is the harvest source for this repo, not a company web presence. It
  answers HTTP 403 (Cloudflare interstitial) to every non-browser client. Per roadmap#56 a trading-venue listing is not wired
  as a Website pointer, because a live 200 from a venue would earn discoverability credit the defunct company does not have.
