nomadpass

You were there?

For now, I don't think monetization is the focus during preseed/seed stage

Yes! That is what Airbnb did, they were not (or still aren't) profitable, yet took on 6.4 billion dollars in funding.

Thank you for that! :)

Thank you for the kind words and bringing that to my attention :)

Thank you for the kind words, and it is called Nomad. :)

Nomad Pass is an opt in subscription model -- but really another term for a lease, but without credit checks or income requirements, and no legal binding contract.

Make it easier for long termers to stay :)

Airbnb was high risk also in 2009...it may seem obvious now, but back then having someone stay in your house wasn't so obvious was it?

They started in Oct 07, I started less than a week ago...it is still early and the ideas are still evolving.

YC saw them nearly two years after. They started in Oct 2007 and got funded by YC in 2009...

1. I have a domain in waiting. They might want me to buy nomad.xx or nomad.yy so I am waiting on the funding before I purchase more than one.

2. It is version v0,1, built over a weekend, so its still very early days.

3. It is in the works.

4. I plan to show that in v0,2 pre alpha.

Yes, I am an avid traveler (Nomad) -- I've been to 85 countries and lived in around 30 of those, and Ive relied heavily on airbnb in the past. I did market research for six months.

No it is not 2,500 subscription. It is based on an average rent, Nomad Pass is essentially a way for Nomads to pay their rent, through the app without fees, without legal contracts or credit checks.

Some people (like myself) can afford a 2,500 rent but can't seem to be approved for a 2,500 mortgage, due to credit and this "Feature" of Nomad Pass is for people in my shoes.

Airbnb didn't even have a demo, they got funding basically on just an idea. I wanted to at least provide a demo of what it could be, its just v0,1. It is still very early days.

I think Nomad is a strong brand name.

It is a demo and investors have been nicer than people on here lol. They know this is the early days and they were impressed it was done in a weekend without any funding while working full time. They loved the pitch deck which was visually rich.
