The Pitch: Meghan Martinez sells us on a digital alternative to the key

Did Meghan Martinez sell you in her 60 seconds? Think about it: How many people had keys to that rental before you stayed there? Keasy is a safe and easy way for property managers and others to remotely access homes without handing out multiple keys. We feel safer already.

Name: Meghan Martinez

What you’re pitching:Keasy is a software platform that gives property managers, homeowners and investors the ability to remotely manage access to their homes from anywhere in the world using our patent-pending keyless lock and smartphone app. I’m on a mission to keep vacationers safe and protect homeowners’ investments.

Position: Founder, Keasy

Hails from: I grew up in a suburb of Memphis, moved to Phoenix to attend ASU in 1995 and have been a Southern girl living in the desert ever since.

Birthday: Nov. 30

Personal life: Married to my favorite person on the planet, mother to an adorable gremlin/terrier rescue named Lucy

Priors: Party girl in college #GoSunDevils; I’ve sold everything from cars to beachfront homes in Mexico; owner of a funny gift line called Lil Basket Case; co-owner of a snarky T-shirt line, Unsweetened Tee; real estate broker; lifelong dreamer

Pitch inspired by:Allyson Kapin of Women Who Tech, who was kind enough to reach out and encourage me to introduce Keasy to the BlogHer-sphere. It has been a blast, and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity.

Mentor(s)/people who inspire: My mom, for “not breaking my spirit.” My dad, for never telling me “no.” My brother, for thinking I am hilarious and providing a safe space always to be myself. My husband, for signing up to marry the monster created by the parties listed above and loving me unconditionally. I am inspired and encouraged by strong/funny/smart ladies — Chelsea Handler, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Robin Quivers, Ellen DeGeneres, Amy Schumer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sheryl Sandberg, Sara Blakely and Elizabeth Holmes

Words to live by: “Please” and “thank you”

Guilty pleasure: Tater tots, dirty martinis, binge-watching House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black

How I recharge: My ultimate recharge is the beach; it is the end of complications. I also love to read, hike, color, write or spend the afternoon laughing with friends.
