Our story
We want to build the #1 platform empowering the experience industry in a digital-first world. That means we help users experience (new) places better than ever before, while enabling experience businesses—like restaurants—to attract guests and build loyalty.
In 2023, we came together with a bold vision to build an all-in-one travel app. At the beginning of 2024, the company was established and we joined the Brightlands Smart Services Campus near Maastricht, Netherlands—a hub for innovation in data and digital services.
​
Our vision quickly gained momentum. In the following months, we became a semi-finalist in the Tectric.vc accelerator, speakers at the annual Toerisme Top—the Dutch tourism summit, and a supporter of Chain4Travel, the developers behind Camino Network.
​
After these early milestones, we decided to shift focus toward product and development. We quickly ran into challenges with the scope of the project, and progress moved slower than expected. But after the necessary learnings and adjustments, we launched a beta version tailored specifically for restaurants in May 2025, focused on the Maastricht region and surrounding areas.
​
This is only the beginning.
