>>> Make an appointment

 

  • What happens: During your scheduled appointment, Bryan will meet you via a Zoom or Google Hangout video conference call for an hour to discuss your business plan and your strategy. You can bring your 15 min presentation -nobody reads business plans nowadays- and we can go over the details, the strengths and weaknesses, and help answer any questions you have about travel technology, growth, challenges and so on. Be prepared to take notes and ask questions.

     

  • Benefits: This is a great way to prepare for any meeting or to discuss previous meetings with investors. You can bring up to two people from your team. You will get the views of an active angel investor, as well as a consultant, and you will gain insights and tips to help you succeed with your travel startup. If your travel startup is promising, I can facilitate introductions to relevant connnections after our meeting.

     

  • Fee: $50 for a one hour consultation
  • Other things to note: Bryan is a professional angel investor and does not sign NDAs. Bryan is not in the business of stealing ideas but will give you a lot of realistic information about travel technology and startups. This is not a way to get funded directly by Bryan.

“Not often you encounter a person that closes mega deals for a listed company with the flair of a seasoned board member. That can talk about adtexts and best keywords practices. Bryan knows what makes the online travel world tick, and will go the distance to make it work for his portfolio. Watch him, because I think he’s only getting warmed up.”
