Why Travel Tech MVPs Fail
And How To Avoid It
We've seen dozens of founders in travel tech make these mistakes.
Building another OTA
Competing with Expedia on inventory and price.
Our SolutionThe aggregators won on breadth. Win on depth—better experience for a specific type of traveler or trip.
API integration overwhelm
Connecting to every GDS and supplier before launch.
Our SolutionStart with one supplier or manual inventory. Validate the demand, then invest in integrations.
Building for all travelers
Business travelers and backpackers and luxury seekers in one app.
Our SolutionA family trip app and a solo backpacker app are different products. Pick your traveler.
What Your MVP Actually Needs
Don't waste budget on features you don't need yet. Focus on validation.
Must Haves
- Itinerary/booking flow
- Search or curation
- Booking management
- User accounts

Wait For Later

Built to Scale.
Not Just a Demo.
We use the same stack as billion-dollar startups. Next.js + Supabase. Start with manual curation or single supplier API. Add Stripe for payments.
