Our story
Built by operators. Still run by them.
Feather is a small, bootstrapped team of vacation-rental operators and builders. We spent years running properties ourselves — so we know exactly what a property manager needs from the software they live in all day. This is who we are, and how we got here.

Where Feather came from
It started with a management company.
Before Feather was software, it was a vacation-rental management company. Our founders built and ran one of the most respected professional operators in the country — managing real portfolios, real turnovers, and real owner relationships for the better part of a decade.
Like every operator, we cobbled together a stack of disconnected tools to run the business — and spent years frustrated that none of them were built the way an operator actually thinks. We knew what great looked like because we lived the grind every day.
When we eventually sold the management company, we didn't walk away from the industry — we doubled down on it. Feather is everything we learned about running a lean, high-quality operation, rebuilt into the platform we always wished we'd had.
Meet the team
The people behind Feather.
A small team, deliberately — operators, builders, and support people who actually pick up the phone.
Quinn
Co-Founder & CEO
Outside of helping drive the industry forward & supporting STR managers, you can find Quinn spending time with his young family, enjoying live shows, or snowboarding.
Silas
Co-founder & "Janitor"
Our beloved Janitor actually was the primary architect of Feather. You can regularly find Silas... Wait, you probably can’t. Silas loves to travel with his family, so ask about the number of stamps on his passport next time you see him.
Taylor
Co-founder & Advisor
"Big T" was the original founder of StayDuvet & CEO there. While he loves Feather, he stays extremely busy with his midterm management company ProperStays & various other ancillary businesses. Taylor loves hanging with his fam, making music, and chilling with his next door neighbor (it’s Mac).
Drew
Fractional CTO
Outside of being the technical mastermind behind Feather, you can find Drew maintaining security standards at Google, hanging with his young fam, and enjoying all that NYC has to offer.
David
Lead Engineer
David is the metronome of our engineering team, and keeps everything in rhythm. He’s the mastermind behind many of our integrations. When not making Feather awesome, David enjoys spending time with his GF and exploring the Big Apple.
Mac
Growth & Client Success
Just like his hat collection at home, Mac wears many here at Feather. Having spent years helping other software companies grow, he loves solving growth & client-related problems. When not working on Feather, Mac spends time with his wife & girls and enjoying live music with friends.
Pratham
Senior Software Engineer
I make sure FeatherPMS just works... automating the tasks behind every booking synced across Airbnb, VRBO, MBP and Stripe, every payment processed without a hiccup, so hosts and property managers can focus on running their properties instead of worrying about the tech behind them.
Tushar
Senior Software Developer
I work behind the scenes, keeping payments, integrations, listings, rates, and fees in sync. A lot of my job is connecting systems, solving problems, and making sure everything adds up exactly as it should. When things run smoothly, you probably won’t notice me... and honestly, that’s the goal.
Shivam
Project Manager
Bringing clarity in the chaos that is an ever-growing backlog of innovative ideas & client suggestions, Shivam is a key cog in our team to keep us focused, on track, and delivering updates on time.
Mike
Founding BDR
A SaaS sales powerhouse and former California Realtor, Michael understands short-term rentals from every angle. Having helped drive an STR tech leader to a $1B valuation by tripling ARR in one year, he now empowers property managers to optimize operations at FeatherPMS. In his free time, he loves traveling, golfing, and shooting pool.
Shubham
Senior Software Developer
From Airbnb listings to MBP rates to Seam door codes, I connect FeatherPMS to the systems it depends on and keep them honest with each other. Syncs, webhooks, edge cases — I chase the ones that only show up at 2 a.m. so hosts never have to.
Piyush
Lead Engineer
With Feather since Day 1, Piyush plays a critical role ensuring that Feather is always looking around the corner and keeping our technology cutting edge. Outside of helping the Feather team in a huge way, he loves hanging with his family.
