Overview
Tech Co-Founder Overview Trouperly is a peer to peer group travel platform. If you’ve ever done something, or been somewhere, because a friend suggested it, then you’ll know where we’re going with this. Who you share experiences with is a hugely important aspect of travel, but until now customers have no choice or input into who those people will be. Based on 15 years experience running a social adventure club, Trouperly aims to harness people-power in the booking process. A sense of community creates an encouraging booking environment that leads to high conversion rates and high repeat bookings. I have the industry experience and success in running a community, as well as the contacts and means to quickly develop the content for the site and some great distribution channels, and to complement this I need a tech co-founder to join me in making this concept a reality. I need a business partner who will come on board for a very substantial equity share and work alongside me to get this to market and to funding. We share the risks but we’ll share the rewards too. I do not expect the person to be in a position to work full time therefore, but I would expect them to be able to dedicate significant amounts of time to it one way or another. In addition to the appropriate technical skills needed to build a fairly complex platform with unique messaging capabilities, I am seeking someone who will understand the vision I have and be able to contribute to this through your technical insight, and who is passionate about finding ways for new technology to improve our product for our community.
