Description
A personal startup where I act as a co-founder, addressing my own pain point of finding amazing spots during trips.
The interactive map features carefully curated selections of top locations in cities around the globe, as well as ready-made daily itineraries based on locals' recommendations.
Our startup was born out of a personal struggle that we, co-founders Anton Solovev and Grigory Kair, experienced during our travels over the past two years. To prove our idea, we interviewed numerous travelers and identified several key issues with existing travel products in the market:
INFORMATION OVERLOAD
Travel apps and existing maps overwhelm users with too many options, leading to time-consuming research and potentially disappointing experiences, even after reading numerous (and possibly fake) reviews.
TIME WASTE
When traveling, every moment counts. Unfortunately, many existing travel products fail to provide high-quality, pre-planned daily itineraries for city exploration. So users have to build such routes themselves.
TOURIST TRAPS
Existing city guides and maps often offer places that are already very popular among tourists. Not only is this quite boring, but it also forms an incorrect impression of the city and country.
