THE MODEL: A platform
for users to live their dream jobs for a short period without having to leave
their current jobs. Users (hosts) can offer ‘descapes’ for a fee based on the
professional skills they possess. Other users can apply to be part of a descape
and are connected to the hosts through the platform. Descapes are basically
trips around activities which from a jungle safari, video shooting, wine
making, photography etc.
STARTUP: Descape
(German startup)
WHAT I LIKE
Core Idea – Travel
options around activities are becoming increasingly popular. Also it gives
users an experience of an activity which they want to pursue full time.
Benefits to Users
– Hosts can get money for the skills they possess. Professionals can experience
different activities and also network with other professionals having similar
interests.
Use Case – The
use base built around self realization is a great. A lot of professionals are not
happy with what they do and this service offers them a chance to pursue an
alternate career for a short period before taking the final call.
CONCERNS
Competition – Selling new and exciting experiences is the
new trend in travel. A lot of startups and existing businesses are entering
this space.
