actually travels.

01The problem

The journey from inspiration to itinerary is completely broken.

Gen Z now spends more on travel than any other generation — and discovers almost all of it on social. But the path from “I want to go there” to an actual trip is scattered across five apps that were never built to talk to each other.

Today, one trip lives in five places at once.

Scroll-stopping content lives on TikTok and Instagram. Saved places get buried in Google Maps. Group decisions spiral across WhatsApp threads. And the memories? They die in the camera roll. There is no single space that holds any of it together.

02The solution

One creative space, built for how Gen Z actually travels.

Dossi replaces the chaos of five open tabs with a single open canvas — part Figma, part scrapbook — where you pin locations, drop images, write notes, draw, and add stickers freely.

The open canvas

Pin locations, drop images, write notes, draw, and add stickers freely. The same board flexes into a collaborative itinerary, a pre-trip outfit mood board, or a post-trip memory scrapbook — all saved under one collection.

Discover

A Discover page surfaces friends’ and influencers’ public collections for real inspiration — turning the content you already trust into something you can actually clone and build on.

Your personal Map

A personal map tracks every saved place worldwide, so the spot you fell for at 2am on TikTok is waiting for you the next time you book a trip.

Unlike rigid itinerary tools or generic note apps, Dossi is the first platform to unify trip planning, styling, group collaboration, and memory-keeping in one visual, social-first space.


03The product

A working prototype. Not the finished product.

This is an interactive prototype — a hands-on preview of the Dossi experience, built to show the concept and the feel. Tap through the feed, open a canvas, explore the map. The full, production-ready product is what we’re raising to build.

Friends’ and influencers’ public canvases, live — the inspiration loop that replaces the endless scroll.

The map

Every saved place, worldwide

Pins from every canvas roll up into one personal map you can plan against.

The canvas

Part Figma, part scrapbook

Drop images, pin spots, write notes, draw. The same board becomes itinerary, mood board, and memory.

04Market size

A generation redefining travel as identity.

Gen Z is the highest-spending travel generation, discovers destinations on social, and treats trips as a core part of who they are. Their spending power is only accelerating — and no tool today is built for the way they plan.

05Competitive landscape

Three camps. None solve the whole problem.

Everyone owns a slice — discovery, planning, or scrapbooking. No one combines open-canvas creation, location pinning, group trip planning, social discovery, and memory-keeping in one product. That gap is exactly where Dossi sits.

Discovery apps

AmiGo · Places by Raya · Corner · Spots

Help users find and save places — but offer no planning canvas, collaboration, or memory-keeping. Corner has raised $3.75M targeting Gen Z specifically, validating the demographic, yet remains a map-and-review tool with no creative layer.

AI itinerary builders

Airial

Generate structured plans efficiently, but are purely functional: no visual expression, social identity, or memory.

Collaborative scrapbooking

Senspace

Tackles collaborative scrapbooking — but has no travel or location infrastructure underneath it.

DOSSI

Open-canvas creation × travel infrastructure × social discovery — owned by no one. Until now.

06Business model

Free to fall in love with. Built to monetize the trip.

A social-first product with multiple revenue surfaces baked into the journey. Figures in [brackets] are placeholders for your model.

Booking & affiliate

Why it spreads: every public canvas is a shareable, cloneable trip guide. Discovery, growth, and product are the same loop — a creator publishes, their followers clone, and each clone seeds the next trip.


08Go-to-market

The product is the growth engine.

Dossi grows through the same social behavior it’s built on — no paid funnel required to start.

Creator-led launch

Seed travel influencers with public Dossi canvases. Their audience already follows them for trip inspiration — now they can clone it in one tap.

STEP 02

The clone loop

Every cloned canvas pulls in a new planner, who invites their group to collaborate. Built-in virality through the Discover page.

STEP 03

Campus & community

Gen Z ambassador program on campuses where group travel peaks — spring break, study abroad, post-grad trips.
