About Trellis
Built by operators, for operators
Trellis is the operating layer for short-term rentals. We automate the coordination that keeps property managers stuck — cleaning schedules, maintenance dispatch, guest communication, vendor management — so operators can focus on growing their portfolio and delivering exceptional guest experiences instead of putting out fires.
Property management doesn't break because of strategy. It breaks because of coordination. Trellis fixes that layer.
Our Mission
We believe property management should be about growth and hospitality — not constant firefighting.
Too many operators are stuck in reactive mode, buried in coordination work instead of delivering the thoughtful, high-quality guest experiences that actually build great brands.
Our mission is to automate the heavy lifting of operations — the dispatching, follow-ups, task routing, and cross-team coordination — so operators can focus on what truly matters: hospitality.
When the operational backbone runs automatically, quality doesn't drop as you grow. It improves. Cleaners show up on time. Maintenance gets resolved faster. Guests receive faster, more consistent communication. Nothing slips through the cracks.
By removing the manual coordination layer, Trellis allows operators to scale confidently — without sacrificing service standards, guest experience, or brand reputation.
Because the future of short-term rentals isn't just bigger portfolios. It's better hospitality at scale.
Founders
Lodovico scaled short-term rental operations to over $2M in annual revenue before founding Trellis. He understands the operational complexity of growing an STR portfolio because he lived it — coordinating cleaners, dispatching vendors, and managing guest expectations at scale.
But he didn't stop at operating.
Before Trellis, Lodovico built the AI backbone behind Conduit, developing automation systems designed specifically for short-term rental workflows. He combines deep operational experience with elite engineering ability — building AI systems that don't just analyze data, but take action.
He founded Trellis to eliminate the operational bottlenecks he once faced himself.
For the past two years, Jan has worked at the center of short-term rental technology.
He has worked across point solutions and PMS platforms, helping property managers automate their day-to-day workflows and optimize their tech stacks. Through consulting and advising, he has partnered directly with operators to solve real operational bottlenecks — giving him a deep understanding of how property management businesses actually run.
With a broad industry network and hands-on experience across thousands of properties, Jan brings ecosystem-level insight to Trellis — ensuring the platform is built not just for operators, but around the realities of the tools and workflows they use every day.
