We're building Travelpal, the platform that connects travelers through smart trip-matching and real-time connections. The MVP is ready. The market is massive. And we’re just getting started.
Most platforms try to be social networks, travel journals, or booking tools, but they miss the core problem: helping people connect in real life. For solo travelers, that means turning to Facebook groups, clunky forums, or random apps just to find someone to explore with. There’s no focused, trust-based platform built for meeting the right people at the right time in the places they're already going.
Travelpal fills that gap.
A connection-first platform designed for solo travelers who want to explore with others, not just post about it.
Global travel market value as of 2024 and it’s still growing, with $5.5T projected expansion by 2028.
Every year, over 300 million people travel alone seeking connection, freedom, and meaningful experiences.
Solo travel is one of the fastest-growing segments post-COVID with a huge demand for real-life connection tools.
They’re not just looking for likes or travel inspiration. They’re craving real connection an people to share the journey with. Every feature we’ve built comes from hundreds of real stories, struggles, and suggestions. Travelpal is shaped by solo travelers, for solo travelers.
Most travel platforms focus on booking, not connection. Travelers end up relying on outdated forums or random groups, hoping to meet someone with similar interests. It's disconnected, inefficient, and rarely delivers real value.
We’re not another social network. We’re a connection platform, purpose-built for how people travel today.
From identifying the gap to launching a movement of connected travelers
We’re turning a clear need into a real solution. Travelpal’s roadmap reflects our mission to help solo travelers easily meet like-minded people and build genuine connections abroad. From spotting the gap to preparing for launch, here’s the path we’re following to bring our vision to life:
We spotted a gap in modern travel: genuine connection. While existing platforms help people get places, they rarely help them meet others once they arrive. We validated this through surveys, interviews, and firsthand solo travel experiences.

We’re finalizing our pre-launch and early user acquisition strategy. This includes community outreach, early marketing campaigns, and a focused rollout in key cities. Our infrastructure is ready to scale when the time comes.
Once pre-launch and funding are secured, we’ll launch Travelpal to a global audience, starting with early adopters, key travel hubs, and a strong foundation of community-driven growth.
We’re raising our pre-seed round to take Travelpal from a working prototype to a global solo travel movement. If you believe in meaningful travel and scalable connection, let’s talk.
