Human Hotel kan beskrives som en hybrid mellem Airbnb + LinkedIn - et netværk for kreative resjende, der ønsker at bo hos værter med lignende profiler og/eller interesser. Human Hotel blev lanceret i 2009 i forbindelse med COP15 og hjalp her 3.000 NGO'er med at finde ophold i København. I 2015 lancerede virksomheden en online platform, der genererede mere end 1.000 bookinger uden brug af markedsføring.

Human Hotel var på Springboard i april og giver her en update siden sparringen: 

"With over 10,000 nights booked through Human Hotel, and a successfully tested beta site, we've gained a clear proof of business and established our main target group. Our experiential product is in demand and we're now seeking investments from relevant partners to help build our brand and accelerate our growth globally.

During our process with CONNECT Denmark and Niels Egelund we went through a very important proces sharpening our business plan and improving our pitching skills. 

With the help and sparring from CONNECT Denmark we have now finished our deck and we are in serious dialogue with investors and business angels. 

The tools we learned during the process have been implemented in the way we pitch and talk. The feedback we got during springboard has been fundamental to the direction our company has taken and really changed the way we are thinking about our business. 

We still have contact with some of the springboard participants on a advisory level and are continuously pursuing our first angel investor.

No doubt we owe Niels and CONNECT Denmark a lot. Thanks for everything".
