I definitely echo the thoughts in the other comments: is this solving a real problem? I can imagine a traveler wanting this, but the locals? Maybe tour guides could get into this, but the traveler + tour guide combo seems like something you aren't going after.
There is a lot if money in tourism, but I am not sure this is an especially fruitful angle to get at it. It could be a starting point though.
Goal #1: get someone to pay for it!
- mittermayr 14y agoi agree. with my other projects, i tried the free and the pay from day 1 models and the paid models performed much much better. it's just another more direct form of validation. and those paying will definitely help shape the service. and the locals will definitely be the harder group to build up. i have a favorite restaurant here in vienna and i love going there as much as i can. i'd be open to take someone flying in there once a week and hear about their life and plans. it's really a matter of communicating the 'why' for locals. i don't want anyone to make money off meeting people, that's the wrong direction. i'd rather charge for other things (pro members can do more, ask for meetings in certain premium lists or whatever)
