In this episode of Innovation Soundbites with GAIN, I talk with Darrien Watson, CEO of SquadTrip | Techstars ‘22, a new platform empowering group travel planners. Here's what I learned: 1. ???????????????????????? ???? ??????????????????: SquadTrip is a marketing and booking solution for group travel, catering to various groups such as empty nesters, weddings, cancer survivor groups, and more. 2. ???????????? ?????? ??????????????: The founder set out to solve the challenges of planning, organizing, collecting money, and communicating for group travel experiences. The aim was to alleviate the complexities faced by travel agents, wellness studios, and destination wedding planners. 3. ???????????? ??????????????????: Group travel organizers typically use multiple tools (websites, spreadsheets, payment platforms) during planning and execution. SquadTrip aims to streamline the process by providing an all-in-one platform, reducing the need for numerous tools and simplifying tasks. 4. ?????? ???????????????? ???? ??????????????????: The platform allows users to create a group travel landing page with details easily, set up payment options and plans, enable auto-billing, and facilitate communication with guests and vendors through email, text messages, and an AI component. 5. ???????? ???? ?????? ?????? ???????????????? ????????: SquadTrip can be set up in about five minutes, making it a user-friendly tool for organizers. The customer base includes a variety of trips, from birthdays and family reunions to professional trips by wellness studios, travel agencies, and travel brands. The platform has already processed significant bookings and aims to reach a million dollars in monthly gross bookings by 2024. #grouptravel #travelplanner Growth Advisors International Network - GAIN #traveltechnology
