It can be difficult for out-of-town visitors to access experiences with cool kids at events, parties, boutique shops, pop-up venues, and other scenes in upmarket/glamorous locales like the Hamptons without on-the-ground knowledge or connections. Gibby Road has found a pain point to solve. Vayable has found a viable model, after pivoting from generic tour guide marketplace to niche experience marketplace. Such matchmaking has been tried by other platforms. In Gibby Road parlance, the site connects locals (Gibbies) with curious experience seekers (Roadies).

Our advisors include Scott Raskin, CEO of innovation management software company Mindjet/Spigit Hill Harper, currently starring in the TV series Limitless on CBS and Jim Welch, co-owner/operator of Amaze Travel. Gibby Road has been met with an incredibly positive response during the beta launch, with over 100 member sign-ups even before the launch was officially announced. We've seen this trend gain power and popularity in the accommodation sector and now Gibby Road applies this immersive local offering and micro-entrepreneurship opportunity to locals and travelers in the realm of experiences. Travel today is about experiencing your destination in a special way and coming home with incredible stories, rather than hitting the same touristy sites as everyone else. Travelers tastes have changed from the days when it was desirable to stay in chain hotels where waking up in Rio looked the same as waking up in Reno. Why do you think the pain point you’re solving is painful enough that customers are willing to pay for your solution? Gibby Road revenue is derived from a percentage of sales of each experience (12% per transaction). Founders of Gibby Road are: Sarah Winters, communications and social media Shawn Ward, operations, website development and digital marketing Shane Ward, partnerships/collaborations and philanthropy Lenworth Gordon, Gibby training and customer service Rachel Harrison, marketing and PR. Gibby Road is a lean startup with a core team of focused founders, strategic advisors and an exceptional communications partner. Names of founders, their management roles, and number of full-time paid staff? With Gibby Road, gone are the days of dragging out your copy of Lonely Planet or trawling TripAdvisor for out of date and unfiltered recommendations rather, travelers are invited to "come with me!" by vetted, in-the-know locals. They have an instinctive desire to go "off-guidebook" to find lesser-known spots and experience local hangouts but have no way to discover them or simply no one to enjoy them with. Gibby Road is for travelers who want to fully immerse themselves in the local culture of the destinations they visit and experience those cities not just with the advice of a local, but with a local.
