In one sentence, tell us about your idea.

I would like to create an online platform (app or website) for travelers who are travelling alone and would like to have personalized company of other travelers.

Finish this sentence: My ideal collaborative partner or partners would be...

My ideal collaborative partner would be who can help me with the funding involved to execute this plan. I am willing to give up 15% equity of my company. Planning involves survey's of current apps and websites who provide the same service.

In regards to finding the right collaborator, what is the most immediate or most pressing challenge you're facing right now?

At the moment, this idea seems so fresh to me that all of the ins and outs of this plan must be understood well before launching this plan. An idea without a plan is going to fail without prior homework.

BONUS QUESTION: What is it about your idea that makes you feel good?

Travelers, male or female will have the flexibility to choose the kind of person they want to spend their journey. it involves selection for adventures, music and food. This will alleviate loneliness when traveling alone. I want to create a platform

What makes your idea innovative? Why has no one ever done it before?

Although there are some apps in the market but they are not flexible in terms of choosing right partner. before committing to a journey people will have the opportunity to get to know the other person so that they feel comfortable since they will be sharing a lot of things while saving the environment. No one has done it before most of the companies want to make money and i am not much concerned with that.
