They've made a classical mistake of building everything from scratch. I happen to work for a company which builds and maintains SaaS system with a Marketplace for tours & activities (not just last minute), apart from other things. Dozens of super bright developers have spent almost a decade building these features they've tried to build with $209K. They could have just used us or our competitors and get a similar result for a fraction of time/budget they've spent. The rest is sales, as they say. And yes, this market is exceptionally hard to get into.
