I spent about 3 years full time on Airbnb, living in various places (Shanghai, Berlin, NYC, DC, SF, LA...). I wouldn't call myself a "digital nomad", but I think I'm familiar enough with this concept to formulate an opinion:
- Without a network of locations, what you have is effectively a boutique hotel (an expensive one at that).
- If you're starting with Ubud at 1,600 USD/month, how will you make the economics work once you open pricier locations (e.g. Miami).
- User experience is really bad. Even after getting some hints from the comments here, I struggled to sign up and still have absolutely 0 idea of what's happening or what I should I do after I did.
- No info upfront is pretty shady. You're literally expecting to sign people up with a logo and a blurry picture.
- No Instagram pictures? Why linking it then? Why linking to AngelList too? How's that relevant to the average user?
- Who is the user here? People with very high disposable income who are into Capoeira and creating startups?
The list goes on.
Overall, I'm just confused. It looks like a boutique hotel for yoga/health fanatics, at a high price and with little to no information to explain the value.
If you're serious about it:
- Hire somebody to rethink your user experience,
- Rethink your pricing,
- Maybe wait until you have at least a second location before calling it a network.
