Founding Season

How it works

Pay, rank, get outbid, pay again.

01

For hotel tech companies

  • Pick one primary category and pay for placement in the current round.
  • The company with the highest Current Round Score is #1. That is the only rule.
  • Anyone can outbid you at any time. Position is rented, never owned.
  • Your paid amount is public on your company page and in the ranking.
02

Rounds

  • Each round resets every Current Round Score to €0.
  • Season Spend is cumulative historical spend and never resets.
  • Season Spend buys nothing. It is context, not placement.
03

The 50/50 split

  • 50% of every confirmed eligible pre-tax placement fee is allocated to the Hotel Tech Fix Fund as a capped gross budget.
  • The remaining 50% runs the platform.
  • The current fund balance is shown publicly on the home page.
04

For hotels

  • Independent hotels and small groups submit one real technology challenge, free.
  • Verified hotel professionals support the challenges they think deserve fixing, until 15 Nov.
  • The eligible challenge with the most verified support is selected. No jury, no second vote, no draw.
  • The selected challenge is known in November, but the Fund keeps growing from placements until the season closes on 15 Dec.

Season rounds

Current round controls placement

    Every round starts at €0. Your Season Spend doesn't.

    A higher rank does not mean better software.

    It means more paid placement in the current round. There are no reviews, judges or quality claims anywhere on this site.
