A two-sided marketplace connecting boutique hotels, villas, Airbnbs, tour operators and unique stays with vetted travel influencers and UGC creators for content-for-stay collaborations. Bootstrapped and run part-time since June 2025, it has built: - 880+ vetted creators and 629 active paid subscriptions - 751 hosts accepted to date, 186 currently active across 61 countries - A 23,000-subscriber traveller email list and 19.6k social followers - $54k trailing 12-month revenue across GBP, EUR and USD Proof it works: one creator with under 10k followers drove over $35,000 in sales for a Nile cruise company from two posts. Revenue today comes from creator memberships (Explorer and UGC plans, billed quarterly, 6-monthly or annually). Hosts join free. New in October 2026: - Host Pro ($89/month, 30-day free trial): Inbox Triage ranks matching creators, plus a reporting dashboard for every collab - Creator community: creator discovery and matching, a forum, and peer content reviews, soon opening to aspiring creators with guides and tips The opportunity: growth has been limited by host supply, and the tools to fix it are now live. Host Pro gives hosts a reason to stay active and a revenue line of its own, and the creator community adds value for members beyond host matching. High-ticket Retreats from $4,000 are priced, with live enquiries. A buyer with time and marketing budget can restart paid acquisition, grow Host Pro and open the community to aspiring creators. Founder handover included.
