URBANGUIDE

The magic of a city lies in the eyes of its residents

From idea to international startup in 6 months.

When visiting a city, it’s not the big monuments that make you fall in love with the city. It’s the little things that can turn a city into a magical experience. Those places are the hidden gems of a city that you might not find that easily.

UrbanGuide is a unique platform where local residents can create digital experiences based on their personal interests. By matching these interests with specific local resident knowledge, a tourist can interact with the local and download the full digital city experience.

FROM IDEA

To startup

Through 4 design sprints, we worked on the basics of a successful startup. We started drafting various business models, financial programmes, the digital concept and most important: The story of UrbanGuide. All these ingredients were combined in a stunning pitch deck which was used to present at Amsterdams own Startup Accelerator: “Startup in Residence”.
