23M, Raised 2 cr. , crossed 18L in 2 months building for resorts and hotels. need intros.

been lurking this sub since college, first time actually posting.

im 23, based in delhi. me and my cofounder are building in the hotels and resorts space. sharing a bit and asking for help

so the problem. spent the last few months talking to independent resort and hotel owners and honestly its worse than i expected. these guys run 1-5cr properties and have no real idea where the money goes. one owner in goa was paying almost a quarter of his revenue to booking apps in commissions and didnt know the actual number till we sat and calculated it with him. he thought it was "10 percent maybe"

and when they try to fix it some agency shows up, charges 40-50k a month for digital marketing, sends a pdf report nobody reads and then dissapeared after 3 months. one guy has been paying an seo consultant 15k a month since 2022 and couldnt tell me what seo stands for lol. anyway. every owner has been burned atleast once so they trust nobody, which means they keep bleeding and call it normal

What we do is simple. we look at their actual numbers and show exactly where money is leaking, in rupees not in gyaan. then we connect them to vetted people who fix that one specific thing. payment stays locked till the work is done so nobody gets scammed from either side. thats it

where we are. crossed 18L revenue in first 2 months, working with properties mostly around goa rn. closed a small round recently, cant share details yet tho

where i need help. we want to go deeper in goa and start rajasthan and himachal next. If anyone here knows independent resort owners, boutique hotel folks, GMs, revenue managers, anyone senior in hospitality, would really appreciate an intro. even a "my uncle has a property in manali" type lead helps

also if you or your family owns a property, happy to look at your numbers for free and tell you whats leaking. no strings even if we never work together

not selling anything, not looking for funding. just intros and advice. learned a lot from this sub just lurking, hoping to give back once im further along.

Got my first 3 customers under 4 days ($15/each) even without building the full product. Ngl, It feels sooo good when people believe in you.

Not using ai here to write content so forgive the typos.

I am a tech guy and absolutely love shipping products. But when it comes to marketing and distribution, I absolutely suck. Its just so time taking finding trends, hiring creators, negotiating rates , managing them , create scripts etc. By time you complete this cycle, you can easily build another product using cc. I have n number of apps in my graveyard which i have not marketed yet.

Distribution is the most difficult part now given building is so easy.

To solve this, I built a workflow for me where you just drop a link to your landing page and it generates 50+ content for me . Memes, reactions, ai avatars, green screen, slideshow with hooks and shit. This workflow worked really well for me when I was marketing my original app. So, I wanted to see if other people also wanted it.

The method I used:
I dropped my unfinished product link, just to show the results they can expect, with no sign ups and a $15 early access link , in a couple of subs asking that I will create your marketing content for free ,manually using my workflow so just give me your landing page. I got hundreds of good leads and I also shared my business WA number incase they want to get in touch with me personally. I also shared what I created using my workflow on my website as product for other people to look at. Sharing the WA was really good because I became really close to the potential customers by solving their content problem when I was going back and forth with them.

Now, 3 of them signed up and really excited to move ahead with me. There are 10 more I believe who will convert, even without a product. Felt realllllly good when these 3 guys paid tbh.

Just wanted to share this. I will keep you guys updated.
