Jason Freedman, co-founder of the new YC-backed startup 42Floors launching today, says he got the idea for the startup because "searching for office space just really, really sucked." The reason the process was so miserable, he says, is because he was powerless. To find commercial real estate, he had to go through brokers who all insisted they had access to proprietary data. But when each broker returned a list of search results to him, it was the exact same list, in the exact same order, from the same database of listings.Thinking that it was time to provide an alternative, Freedman decided to found 42Floors, a service that will allow people to search for commercial real estate online. The company is starting by hosting office space listings located in the Bay Area at launch, and will then expand into other markets.
