Why I stopped complaining about legacy hotel tech and started building a solution.
by•
After a decade in hospitality, from running hotel operations to working at Airbnb and hosting my own guests, I realized something. The tech for independent owners is broken.
We are stuck with fragmented legacy tools while losing 15% to 25% of our revenue to big OTA commissions. I finally decided to stop complaining about it and start building the solution.
For the last year, I have been heads down on Hotelia.io. We are opening Early Access this Tuesday right here on Product Hunt.
Quick question for the makers here: What was the biggest "oh no" moment you had in the final 48 hours before a launch? I am currently triple checking our AI reservation assistant and would love some pre-launch sanity checks!

I also just published the definitive story behind the mission of Hotelia.io over on our Substack.
It is called The Hotelia Dispatch and it covers our "Why" in full detail. I dive deep into the specific moment I realized that independent operators were being left behind and exactly how we plan to fix it.
I would love for you to read the genesis story and the vision driving our build, here: https://open.substack.com/pub/hotelia/p/the-human-side-of-hospitality-launching
