AI for Apartments: How Jacob Carter Built Nurture Boss
In this episode of the PHX FWD Founder Podcast, Gregg Scoresby sits down with Jacob Carter, founder of Nurture Boss, to talk about building one of the leading AI platforms in the multifamily housing industry.
Nurture Boss is an AI powered leasing assistant that helps apartment operators manage the entire renter journey from the first inquiry through lease renewal. By automating communication, scheduling, and follow-ups, the platform allows property managers to respond instantly and operate more efficiently.
Jacob shares how the idea for Nurture Boss emerged, why multifamily housing was the right market to focus on, and what it takes to build a category-defining product. The conversation also explores lessons from Jacob’s earlier career at companies like Integrate and Infusionsoft, the importance of product quality, and why focus is critical when building a startup.
They also discuss how AI is changing software, what founders often get wrong about product-market fit, and the mindset required to build and scale a successful company.
