| What problem are you solving? | Independent, confident travelers hate looking like tourists and don’t want to be constrained by the schedule of a traditional group tour. FollowAlong delivers that same great content but on your own schedule, the way you want to use it. |
| What is your solution? | FollowAlong is a mobile app that curates a library of interactive, geotagged walking tours and adventures. Users can choose a city and category and start exploring without needing to join a cramped, impersonal tour group. The FollowAlong app guides users stop by stop and provides inside information and trivia along the way. |
| Target Market | Free independent travelers, women travelers, city explorers, local influencers |
| How will you make money? | Subscriptions/Advertisement |
