Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

We are building a Digital Concierge Platform for 2–4 star hotels that transforms every hotel room into a digital sales channel for local services. Guests discover and book experiences, wellness, dining, and more via a simple QR code—while hotels unlock new revenue streams without additional operational effort.

The founding team consists of two experienced and successful entrepreneurs with a strong track record in building and scaling companies.

Our next step: build the MVP → launch pilot hotels and partners → raise seed funding.
