It's encouraging to see so many Founders and business owners part of this travel community. I often wonder how the overall experience in establishing, managing and growing a tech company on the road is different to if you were stationed in one city.
Do you have access to the same resources?
Can you validate the same way?
What are the differences in raising capital?
How will you find a co-founder?
What if all your customers and partners are in one country?
I was recently invited to be part of a startup accelerator program in my home city of Sydney, Australia. And while the idea of a product I built helped me get into the program (not the only reason), the program itself was more focused on developing new ideas through finding a co-founder, conceptualizing an idea, validating said idea and eventually (potentially) getting a term sheet.
Ultimately, aside from the in-person co-founder matching activities, I found there was no real need to be physically present. However, If you...

Hello Travel Massive Community 👋
My name is Brooke Ostrom, and I am the Content and Community Manager at Airheart. I’m excited to share with you what our team has been working on over the past year.
Launched during the pandemic, Airheart Explorer helps travelers navigate complex restrictions. Discover where you can go and see what’s involved in one easy-to-read format. Search restrictions by your vaccination status, and even filter out destinations by certain policies, such as a mandatory quarantine. We’re here to help you travel with confidence and take the stress out of planning your trips. 🙌
Speaking of stress-free trip planning… we’ve also been hard at work developing our core travel planning platform that is set to launch later this spring. With Airheart, you will be able to:
- Organize your trip (flights, bookings, reservations, etc.) all in one dedicated space, and receive detailed travel policy information every step of the way
- Collaborate with your friends and family on itineraries, and get updates when any changes are made
- Search flight availability for each route
- Find airline-specific and transit COVID-19 policies
- See visa requirements and application services
- Purchase travel insurance
If you find this interesting, we hope you’ll join our waitlist to be notified when we roll out more features. In the meantime, use Airheart Explorer to see restrictions for any upcoming trips.
Give us a comment, or reach out and say hello! We’d love to hear from you.
Warm regards,
Brooke
Hi Brooke, thanks for sharing Airheart on Travel Massive. The information is very comprehensive, well done! How do you keep all this information updated? I can imagine it's a big task to keep track of all the regulations... are these user submitted or researched in-house?
For anyone reading, here's an example search of Australia (where I live) to Thailand:

Hi Ian,
Thank you for the comment and kind words. We have partnered with several companies to provide data to travelers. Through our partnership with sherpa, we display details on the current restrictions in each country such as COVID testing policies, quarantines, and mandatory documents. The information on local guidelines, like whether public transportation is operating, or what the mask-wearing policies are, come from our partner Travel Perk. We also share local health data on COVID cases and vaccination rates in a country through Our World in Data. By utilizing all of these partnerships, we give travelers the information they need to help them travel with confidence and be prepared for their trips.
Kind regards,
Brooke
I just took a spin on the website ... seems like a great resource in planning trips during these difficult Covid times.
Thank you for checking out Airheart Explorer, Ric! We're glad it can be a resource for your planning.
Hi Brooke, this is awesome. I run a community of over 18k travel-loving families who are struggling to navigate the ever-changing rules and entry requirements.
I'm going to take a good look around the site, and if you fancy doing a live chat in my group to promote it, let's connect. I'm sure my members will love this.
Hi Susannah, thank you for the comment. I'd love to connect and learn more about the opportunity to share Airheart with your group. I'll send you a message!
