You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Hi guys, I’m an avid traveller, especially when it involves combining sports such as mountain biking into the itinerary. I’ve organised many group trips which have consisted of over 10 individuals before and found the process to organise the trips as a lead booker very exhausting, especially in the collection of payment for accommodation aspect. Therefore we decided to launch the app, TripSplit, a travelling social media app allowing users to connect with like-minded individuals, through the use of an algorithm.
I wanted to ask you guys some questions regarding this app, which will help us to improve the services on the app.
Overview
As a general overview based on your hobbies and interests, you'll then be matched with trips created by other users. Essentially you will have 48hrs to reserve a space on one of these trips. Then we will propose an accommodation: Airbnb, a hostel or a campsite depending on the attendee's desires. Each attendee will then has 12 hours to pay for the accommodation.
This acts as a split payment system and ensures that head bookers do not have to chase any money from other attendees. Other possible features of this app, could include a group expense organizer (for supermarket shopping, bar tabs etc, which would show how much each person owes who) and a joint calendar to organize trip itineraries.
As you can gauge our overall desire is to connect like-minded individuals to travel, reduce travel stress, improve convenience and drastically decrease the time needed to organize and join group trips.

Any other feedback is also highly appreciated,
Many thanks,
