Hey Travel Massive Community,
My name is Martin, and I'm navigating the exciting yet challenging journey of being a first-time cofounder and product leader. We're currently in the process of refining the second iteration of our MVP. As we prepare for our beta launch, our primary goal is to nail down product-market fit.
From what I've gathered, product-market fit seems to encompass two major areas: our vision (our definition of success and the unique value we aim to deliver to our users) as founders and the empirical data or benchmarks set by others who've successfully launched in similar markets.
Here's where I like to gain more perspective from the Travel Massive Community:
1. Is this dual-sided approach to product-market fit consistent with your experiences?
2. For those who've journeyed through the startup landscape, in the travel space, how did you define and achieve product-market fit for your projects?

I used to work in an R&D of a hotel management software company what gave me opportunity to talk with many innovative hotels.
I'm passionate in researching how hotels operate, what some do differently than others.
The market has changed a lot in the last years...
The MICE is not the same, business travel revenue is shrinking.
On other hand you have digital nomads, remote companies, a lot of guest's behaviour has changed.
In my newsletter I'm trying to transform my observations and research into actionable "nuggets". We will chat about hybrid hospitality and how the most progressive hotels combine coworking, coliving, events, etc.
Any feedback and ideas for new topics are highly appreciated!
Love this! I read through a few articles and I like the bite size content style.
I used to explore the hybrid hospitality concept and many of the brands you mentioned as part of my PhD thesis on hospitality.
Is your PhD thesis somewhere available to read online?
Unfortunately, not. It's also only in Bulgarian. I explored models which city hotels in Sofia can incorporate to increase their earnings through ancillary products, so I used lots of examples of city hotels in other places in the world.
Very interesting, the first time I heard about hybrid hospitality.
