Advance Booking Bridging the gap

I’m Oscar Zondani, founder of Advance Booking, a digital platform revolutionizing bookings for South African venues, local experiences, and services. Our platform addresses the inefficiencies of manual booking systems by offering real-time availability, seamless payments, and an intuitive operator dashboard.

South Africa’s local experience market is valued at over $5 billion, yet only 20% of bookings are made online. We aim to bridge this gap by empowering operators with digital tools, boosting their visibility and revenue.

Since launching, we’ve onboarded 1,200 operators across various industries in South Africa. With investment, we plan to scale further in South Africa during the first year and expand into the rest of Africa subsequently. Our revenue streams include commissions, subscriptions, and advertising, with a 65% gross margin.

We are raising $300k to enhance product features, grow our team, and lay the groundwork for regional expansion.
