Rocio Lane is the founder and CEO of on-demand vacation rental cleaning company Cleancio.
Born and raised in Bolivia, the Hispanic entrepreneur fell in love with the industry because of the possibility it held for innovation. She hosted Airbnb properties and engaged with the host side of the industry for years before realising there was room for improvement on the side of property management and housekeeping operations. The pursuit of her passion for housekeeping would later grow into the high-quality service for short-term rental businesses and hosts that it is today.
Lane is also an alumnus of Chicago-based WiSTEM, the 1871 accelerator programme for female entrepreneurs. The rigorous 12-week programme includes curated programming, mentorship, and facilitated introductions to key corporate and venture partners, culminating in a community showcase event open to Chicago’s tech leaders, supporters and potential investors at 1871.
