Brooklyn-based start-up Feather, a graduate of this every year's Y Combinator programme, has raised $3.5m in seed funding from investors including Bain Capital Ventures. Feather offers millennials who have not yet bought their first home the chance to rent furniture, either in room bundles or solo items, at a cheaper rate than buying it. The company is based in San Francisco and New York, and the funding will help it expand to new markets as well as increasing its staff.
