About Tripwitness
|
Startup TripWitness satisfies one of the basic people’s needs - the need of Esteem. TechCrunch took an interested in our startup and we were invited to promote it on the TechCrunch Radio. |
| What problem we are solving? |
| Traveling is a sign of prestige now. Tourists spend their money on travels and want to demonstrate their achievements to get satisfaction. They have a need to feel respected. But now people are not able to COMPARE their trips against the trips of others as they can do in case of prestigious gadgets. |
| How this problem was solved before? |
| There are a lot of sites for placing photos and travel stories. The original images and interesting stories with well-deserved success are arranged there. However, most travelers do not possess the talent of the narrator or the photographer. They cannot draw attention to their trips and so be proud for them. Now only family and friends are interested in their photos. |
| How do we solve this problem? |
|
Startup TripWitness is created for the majority of travelers who have the same guide books, buy the same tours and make photos of well-known tourist attractions. TripWitness contains Top 1000 most photographed tourist attractions in the world. The main feature of our startup is the utilization of this present-day standardization of travels. Every user makes their own Trip Album adding photos with tourist attractions from the proposed list. The Trip Rating is automatically calculated, showing how many of the world attractions the user has visited. Those who have higher Trip Rating have higher traveler status. Trip Rating is calculated separately for countries, for continents and for the entire world. Thus, even a novice traveler who visited only one country can already be proud of his/her achievements. All users can easily show themselves as experts in geography, architecture and history – names of sights are automatically added to their Trip Album and Trip Collages. |
| Targeting of the project |
| Our startup will be of interest not only for young but also for adult and elderly travelers who currently rarely use social networks. TripWitness provides people of retirement age with the opportunity to show their achievements to youth. Seniors can travel more and beat in the ranking younger competitors. |
