You use it.
Now own it.
StayingBee is opening up investment to the people who matter most — our community.
You've already trusted us with your travels. You've opened your home to a stranger who became a friend, or arrived in a new city and felt instantly welcomed. That's not an accident — it's what StayingBee was built for.
Now you can own a piece of what you helped build. Starting from just €1,000.
What does investing in StayingBee actually mean?
Meet the founders building StayingBee.
When you invest, you're not donating money or buying a product. You're buying the right to own a piece of StayingBee in the future — through a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity).
It means backing the next chapter of a platform you already believe in — helping us grow the trusted community travel network while sharing in the upside if StayingBee succeeds.
What is a SAFE?
Imagine a bakery that's just getting started. You give them €1,000 today to help them grow. In return, when the bakery becomes a chain and brings in big investors, you get to convert your €1,000 into actual ownership — at a better price than the new investors pay. That's a SAFE.
Simple. Fair. Community-first.

Like any startup investment, this carries risk. We're early-stage, and returns are never guaranteed. Only invest what you're genuinely comfortable with.
In their own words
“I don't invest or join Boards often, but their pitch and traction inspired me:
- There's a $400B alternative travel accommodation market untapped
- Travelers crave authentic, safe experiences with like-minded people
- Communities want economic opportunities that align with their values”
Hugo Pereira
Ex President, AIESEC International
“Accommodation is always tricky for traveling sales people, especially those of us who work in startups and outside sales. StayingBee is providing a community for founders and startup teams to not only connect but also find safe accommodation when traveling.”

“On a personal note, I've never invested like this before — it's not something I've ever done all at once. I feel compelled to support what's being built here. There's something really special in the vision and the effort behind it, and it's been inspiring to witness. I'm doing this with a lot of care, but most importantly, trust in the product and platform. You guys have something very strong here.”

Why
StayingBee™
People already turn to their communities when they travel.
We're building the infrastructure behind it.
The Opportunity
People already turn to their communities when they travel — asking friends, alumni groups, and networks for a trusted place to stay. It happens in WhatsApp chats and Facebook groups every day, without any real infrastructure behind it.
We're building that infrastructure. And the numbers show it's working — that's where StayingBee comes in.
Our Traction
What we've achieved already
We're building toward the following with your support:
- 100+ new communities worldwide
- €1M+ in total bookings by 2027
- The infrastructure for how communities travel, connect, and belong — anywhere in the world
Built for
communities
like yours
StayingBee connects travelers with trusted hosts within communities they already belong to — alumni networks, startup circles, and global organizations.
A community-driven platform connecting travelers and hosts through shared values and real community ties
