The Physical World's Discovery Algorithm

We don't predict where people go. We decide.

Everyone Sees The Same Thing

The SpotFynder Experience

Tourism became homogeneous. Everyone goes to the same 10 spots they saw on Instagram.

But what if you could discover what locals won't share?
What if you always knew the next hot spot before it exploded?

The $800B Tourism Industry Runs on Yesterday's Data

Discovery is broken. It's chaos.

01

Travelers

"Where's that mural from TikTok?"
(Can't find it)

02

Businesses

"Why is our location dead?"
(Found out too late)

03

Cities

"Overtourism is killing us"
(Can't control flow)

Why We Win

Pioneer Network

We identify tastemakers before they're famous

Influence Engine

We don't just track, we direct traffic

Identity Lock-in

Users become "urban explorers" (can't leave)

2-Year Data Moat

Behavioral patterns can't be bought

"The best way to predict the future is to invent it." We're not predicting where people will go.
We're deciding.

They're Playing Checkers

Google Maps

Utility, not discovery

Shows what exists

Instagram

Inspiration, not action

No location tools

Yelp

Reviews, not prediction

Backward looking

Placer.ai

Historical, not influence

Can't direct traffic

SpotFynder

Discovery + Action + Intelligence

We create the future

They analyze what happened. We shape what happens next.

No one else combines consumer discovery with predictive intelligence.
