BYHOURS - Startup Pitch - South Summit competition 2018

Did you hear about the last innovation on the travel industry? Guillermo Gaspart, Founder & CEO of BYHOURS provides all details within 3 minutes during TNW conference in Amsterdam. Wish us luck because next pitch will hopefully be during the South Summit conference in Madrid, a leading innovation event focused on business opportunities and disruptive trends, that gathers together the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

BYHOURS is the first online platform that allows booking hotel rooms for a few hours. You can book a in one of our 3,000 Hotels for 3, 6 or 12 hours, choosing the check-in time, an paying only for the time you need.

We call this new service “Microstays”, a big innovation in the industry that transforms Hotel rooms into a office, a shower, a place to rest… whatever you need it to be. 200,000 customers are already using this new service in Europe, South America and Middle East.

Hotels love it because it’s the optimisation tool they always dreamed of. With BYHOURS Hoteliers can sell their empty rooms during day or night, and resell the same room several times a day, which boosts its revenues up to 300K euros per year. And these are new clients that they never had before.

We have developed the team, the processes, the technology, the business model and the operations to make our microstays a global trend. We believe that flexibility in the Hotel industry is here to stay, and we are the ones that are making this future possible.
