Slidy — leave your mark in the world of travel
Student startup. In development. Tech stack: Next.js, Mongo.db.
Project description
The project "Slidy" is developed by the team Train of Thought, aimed at solving the problem faced by travelers in new cities: the lack of interesting tours and the absence of connection with local guides. The main goal of the platform is to provide tourists with a wide range of ways to spend their free time by finding individual and group tours through a platform that collects offers from local guides.
**How it works for tourists:**
1. Tourists can find tours on the website and choose the one they like.
2. Contact the guide via messenger on the platform and discuss the details.
3. Agree on the exact time of the tour and wait for its start.
4. With the guide's consent, tourists can join ongoing tours.
**How it works for guides:**
1. Anyone can register on the website as a tourist and then apply for verification as a guide.
2. After verification, the guide can upload their tour offers and wait for messages from clients.
3. The platform allows guides to earn money by using their local knowledge, which also helps them diversify their daily lives.
**Business model:**
The project earns through a commission system, charging a small fee from each agreement made between the tourist and the guide. This commission is used to support the server, advertising, and platform development.
**Team:**
The team consists of people who have personally faced the problem of the lack of interesting tours in new cities. They created the platform to make the process of finding tours convenient and accessible.
**Achievements and plans:**
In the past semester, the team completed the website design, implemented registration and user profiles. Several guides have been found who are ready to add their routes to the site. Plans for the next semester include launching an advertising campaign, attracting more guides, and obtaining feedback from the first users.
**Needs:**
To support the website, domain, and advertising campaign, the team needs $300, which will also serve as an incentive for further project development.
