DESCRIPTION

Kheoba is a development-stage company building an online platform for booking private and group tours in Georgia (the Caucasus region) and Tenerife, Spain. The platform connects travelers with local tour guides and travel agencies, offering tours such as Georgian wine tours, Caucasus mountain retreats, Old Tbilisi city tours, Tenerife wine tours, and surf lessons. Kheoba sells to two customer groups: travelers booking curated tours, and tour guides or agencies seeking tools to manage their business. Kheoba plans to generate revenue from two sources: subscriptions sold to tour guides and agencies for access to a CRM platform with tour management tools, and direct tour sales to travelers. Individual guides pay $500–$1,000 per year for CRM access, while agencies pay $3,000–$4,000 per year. Kheoba also plans to sell its platform as a white-label solution to travel agencies. The company has launched a website and is in early testing of its tour offerings, with one part-time officer and director. Kheoba is seeking $35,000 in funding to build its core technology, including a CRM system and an AI-based tour recommendation algorithm. Kheoba argues its differentiation lies in deep local expertise in Georgian culture, cuisine, and traditions, rather than competing as a broad global marketplace.
