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  nationwide from 1 April 2020, a rescue funding round was withdrawn at the last minute, and on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.

  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.

    Stay Alfred Inc. permanently closed on 20 May 2020 and the stayalfred.com host is no longer
    controlled by the company — every path, including /openapi.json and every /.well-known/ path,
    returns a Cloudflare 301 into a rotating set of unrelated third-party domains, while
    api./developer./docs./app.stayalfred.com are all NXDOMAIN and no GitHub organization or
    package-registry namespace ever existed.
