Who's behind CoHaven?
CoHaven is founder-led. Zach Bertram personally runs every Owner Planning Session and every co-owner matching process — there's no team behind the curtain handing you off to someone who doesn't know your situation.
Behind the scenes, a small group of specialists supports the operation: a marketing partner, a web development partner, and — as the business grows — additional support focused specifically on making sure every group gets the same level of attention the first one did.
