Tech savvy entrepreneur Daniel Shaked can recognize a winning idea for a business when he sees one. The founder and CEO of Home365 was a judge at the City of Henderson’s third annual Start Tank competition in August where contestants pitched their business ideas to a panel of refined judges.
The competition awarded a $2,500 grand prize to the winner for his business selling digital advertisements to display on the windows of ride share vehicles.
Shaked said Southern Nevada is a great market for entrepreneurs to launch a new business.
“I brought my Silicon Valley-based company to Las Vegas this year, and it’s expanding quickly,” said Shaked, whose company entered the Las Vegas market in June 2019. It is currently providing its services to 500 properties in the Las Vegas Valley. “Southern Nevada is thriving, and it’s an excellent place for entrepreneurs to showcase their talents.”
Shaked said he launched Home365 in Las Vegas because of the city’s high proportion of out-of-town investors who own rental properties coupled with the high demand for single-family home rentals. Currently, there are only 1,150 homes available to rent in the Las Vegas market, according to partial statistics from the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors (GLVAR).
According to Shaked, competitions like Start Tank that offer hopefuls the opportunity to present their ideas before a panel of judges help encourage local start-ups.
“When people can go through the trial and error process and obtain feedback from current business owners, they often become more driven and poised for success,” he said. “I have been on the other side so I am happy to offer insight and support to young entrepreneurs.”
Shaked said he is inspired by passionate people with the motivation to succeed.

The new data and AI-based model aims to provide a solution for ongoing issues between traditional property managers, property owners and tenants.
“This platform saves property owners up to 50 percent in costs and will help restore a sense of trust between renters and property owners,” he said.
Bolstering the unique service is Home365’s guarantee to cover rent for vacant properties of up to one year and tenant management program to screen and place renters.
