Quick Pitch

Our app and website match travelers and locals based on interests, life phase, and availability. This way travelers gain access to like-minded locals who’ll take them to unique and amazing places. And locals get to do what they already love to do and get paid for it!

Join us as we work to take Experiental Travel to another level! 

The Problem

Here's the current scenery in the Travel Industry:

  • Visitors seek affordable ways to do things within their preferences and outside of the tourist attractions circuit.
  • Visitors don’t usually speak the language spoken at overseas destinations.
  • Tour Guides and Agencies take the visitors to see the conventional tourist spots, not considering personal preferences or visitors’ profiles.
  • Info on the web can be inconsistent, unilateral and quickly become obsolete.
  • The hospitality industry consists mostly of big corporations that isolate the locals and charge hefty prices.
  • The new Experiential Travel Trend is focusing on adventurous millennials.

City Catt brings a simple solution to all these problems:

The Solution

City Catt combines Digital Efficiency with Human Intelligence by connecting tourists with like-minded people in their destinations. We call them Catts, and they’re the ones who will unlock all their city’s secrets and hidden gems for the travelers. 

This basically means no more paying for things you’re not sure you’ll like. Our Catts help people find unique places that are a fit for them and their family, or group. This is the only situation where money can actually buy happiness!

With City Catt, locals will be showing visitors just how awesome their city is. They’ll work flexible hours and make good money just by introducing people to the greatest spots in town. It’s fun and work perfectly merged!

These are keywords when it comes to great vacations. Our expert locals, or Catts, will make sure tourists have a lot of fun, while not wasting money on things they won’t like. Meanwhile, us at City Catt, make sure you’re all safe and sound. 

All users undergo the step of Identity Verification, where we make sure nobody is making fake profiles or giving out inaccurate information. Catts also undergo an extra step of background check before being able to work with us.

All Catts also have to take training sessions in-app, which prepares them to provide great and professional service. They’re trained to be travel consultants, the people who’ll make sure travelers have a stress-free and authentic time on their next vacation.  

Before any outing, travelers receive a unique safety code they'll provide their Catt with when they meet. This ensures us they're together and safe. Plus, the geolocalization feature on the Catts app makes it possible for us to know where they are at all times.

Both travelers and Catts fill out profile forms which we use to do our magic. Every time people travel, they also fill out a Trip Profile form. We put it all together and voilá! They get a list with just the right amount of Catts who:

  •  Speak their language
  • Are available to work on the dates requested
  • Have similar tastes and preferences
  • Are in a similar life phase as the traveler
  • Will take into consideration the traveler's plans and desires for his/her vacation

Traction & Accomplishments

We’re building key relationships. From key marketing relationships that'll help us recruit more Catts, to international key partners that'll help us reach out to the tourists worldwide, we're on our way to something big. 

We're building more. We'll soon launch our Android version of the App. Our API is also being built, and we'll be able to integrate City Catt's service with other complementary services in the Tourism Industry. 

Locals are eager to show off their cities. 250 locals in 16 different US cities have signed up to be Catts.  

Suppliers are secured. In order to keep our users safe, we closed partnerships with global reliable providers: 

Proprietary assets are protected. Proprietary assets are protected. We have patented our technology, which provides priceless protection against potential competitive attacks.
