I like the idea and I would probably be interested if I was a cash-starved startup. However, I suspect the intersection between people with under utilized property assets (especially in SF!) and people who want to speculate in early stage startups is vanishingly small. How are you going to find these people?
Great question ;) I think that you might find "mentor" type folks who would be interested in helping spur local economies who might not normally be as incentivized to list a room on AirBNB for example. We have some relationships with some real estate publications who may partner to cover this if it's interesting. Or maybe someone has office space and they would be happy to sublet it to a complimentary start-up for equity and the benefit of having some new ideas in the building.
