Hi everyone, after a week or so of brainstorming I have decided to repurpose a domain I bought for a different project into a marketplace. Two-sided marketplaces are notoriously difficult to get off the ground and I’m terrified, so I come here to share the idea and hopefully get some great feedback and tips from you all.
My idea for Moonbase is to create a marketplace where businesses can list their capsule hotel, coworking space, or social lounge and allow users to book them overnight or by the hour. In my search, I found that there are loads of great sites that focus on great cities to go to as a traveler or digital nomad, or how to find cheap airfare, but I didn’t find a marketplace for finding or booking access to these types of places.
Picture being on a trip to another city or country and you need a place to sleep for the night, or want to find a social hangout or coworking space to rest for a few hours, get on WiFi, etc., I envision this marketplace as an easy way to find and book that’s in your budget and has the amenities you need.
Unfortunately even sharing the idea with you here, it’s hard to focus my words and narrow in on the model. Should I drop everything related to “coworking spaces” and narrow in on capsule hotels and other niche, micro-hotels that a “nomad” may consider booking to rest for a few hours or overnight?
Suggestions are welcome. Slogan/Description ideas as well!! Thank you
