Co-Founder / CTO (Technical Co-Founder)

*About SplitStay
*

SplitStay is an early-stage traveltech marketplace helping solo travelers match and share hotel rooms, cutting costs while filling empty hotel beds.

Think BlaBlaCar meets Booking.com, for a post-Airbnb world.

We're unlocking a new consumer behavior using existing hotel infrastructure — building a community-driven solution for the solo travel wave.
The tech behind SplitStay leverages AI-powered matchmaking and decision-making, helping users find optimal co-travelers while enabling hotels to tap underutilized demand patterns.

Currently part of the ESADE eWorks Accelerator, we’re gaining momentum and have strong interest from both users and investors. Our prototype is up, our vision is clear — now we’re looking for the right technical mind to join the founding team.
