xHeron provides human-and-AI guest operations—guest communication, coordination and issue resolution—for short-term-rental operators.
xHeron targets the growing operational burden of short-term rentals, where 24/7 guest communication and coordination among guests, cleaners, technicians and operators can overwhelm an in-house team. It bootstrapped to high six-figure ARR with 115% net revenue retention and more than half of customers coming through referrals, and the IBB Ventures-led pre-seed is intended to turn that operating expertise into increasingly autonomous capabilities.
