Investment thesis
Jan Doležal, Founder
The last investment round gave us the comfort to choose an investor. We chose Grouport based on their fair, straightforward, yet flexible approach. But also, Grouport has a network of accomplished people that have invested into the fund. Serving as mentors, these people have provided us invaluable networking contacts. Based on these contacts, we were able to finalize first partnerships. We also utilized mentoring for our sales person and during the customer discovery workshop three mentors with marketing background participated and enriched our workshop.
Everyone knows how time-consuming and inconvenient planning out your vacation is – googling each site, itinerary planning, browsing through paper guides or being confined to a group of 30+ tourists. SmartGuide turns every cell phone into a personal guide. This interactive app uses geolocation, voice guide and augmented reality and fully replaces a physical guide. This B2B2C platform represents a seamless way of digitalizing and monetizing content for the attractions/sites owners. A stellar all-star founder team with their vision „Where all journeys begin“ persuaded us to support this project.
