Inspiring acquisition from the travel space
Follow their steps with this personal audio guide for tourists
This weekend I read an interview on Indie Hackers with Shie Gabbai,
the CEO of AI travel planner Roam Around.
I’ve seen the Roam Around coming by on my Twitter feed,
and its growth is really inspiring 🚀
However, what I didn’t know…
is that Shie bought the first version from someone else.
He acquired it from Nader,
who didn’t want to continue because of the high costs to maintain.
Shie saw an opportunity and grabbed his chance.
Eventually this acquisition turned out really great for him!
I especially loved reading this story because one of our members,
Hazel (@byhazellim), also worked on an interesting travel product and wants to sell this too now.
How cool would it be if the new owner (you?) can turn this in a success story, just like Shie Gabbai did with Roam Around?! 😃
If you’re looking for an opportunity in the travel industry, this is your chance.
Narrated Tours
The product Hazel worked on during our challenge is Narrated Tours.
With Narrated Tours tourists can make their own personal audio walking tour guide,
for example during a city trip. This way, they can explore the city based on their own preferences 🙂
When Hazel launched this on Product Hunt, Narrated Tours received almost 500 upvotes and became the #4 of the day.
A promising product targeted at a big global market.
If you’re interested to learn more about this, Hazel will be happy to guide you around during our special sale event tomorrow.
Hustle with a guide
Just like her previous product in March (Savage Cards), Hazel built her product together with ChatGPT (or HustleGPT as it’s called). Following up the instructions from HustleGPT, Hazel built and launched Narrated Tours this time.
To get here, Hazel re-invested her revenue of the first exit, to give HustleGPT a budget of $500. With this Narrated Tours Hazel is now aiming to 10x her revenue from the first round.
Building in public, you can find all about Hazel’s journey on Twitter.
The new owner of Narrated Tours will not only acquire an interesting product, but it also comes with a great story 😃
HustleGPT Sale
To support Hazel, we’re throwing up a special Sale event tomorrow:
a HustleGPT Sale, exclusively for products created in collaboration with ChatGPT (HustleGPT)
If you’re interested to hear more about Narrated Tours, or another #hustleGPT product, you’re welcome to join us 🙂
#hustleGPT started in March, when Jackson Greathouse Fall gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible. Inspired by Jackson's journey, many others followed and started their own #hustleGPT challenge. Hazel already built and sold one product this way and is now up for a second attempt 🙂
