With the deliberate decision to continue growing, hobbiespot launches into a phase of capital growth. This global platform of experiences, whose mission is to help people discover plans and events based on their interests while meeting others with the similar tastes, is prepared to face a new stage of expansion.

Already established as a social network, with an ever-increasing user base, hobbiespot is now seeking to expand into the emerging and promising market of experiences. To do this, it is in the process of developing a technology that, by the use of a plugin, allows third parties to integrate and use its services. Corporations and companies of all kinds — hotels and finance companies in particular — have already shown their interest in this service, with which they will be able to offer their clients the best experiences, creating their own event database and supplementing it with the existing hobbiespot repository. In order to achieve this ambitious international goal, however, the startup founded by Roberto Salcines intends to collaborate.

This is where the search for a lead partner comes into play. hobbiespot’s current resources have made it possible to develop an innovative and disruptive product from scratch, which has been evolving based on user feedback. In addition to the app and the web, it has its own CMS (Content Management System) to manage the event database. It goes without saying that in the field of applications, the work of maintaining, polishing and improving is continuous, so opening a completely new service, as hobbiespot aspires, is a task that requires increasing human and material resources. Since the aim is to do so with the highest possible quality, hobbiespot would like to have a partner who can benefit from the work done so far in their corporate strategy.

hobbiespot and this partner will lead a capital increase, scheduled for October 30, which will incorporate venture capital, both public and private, Business Angels, and Media for Equity instruments. This ambitious expansion will allow the platform to multiply its resources and create a team expressly dedicated to this new business model, more directed towards corporations and companies (B2C), without neglecting its current C2C path.

Currently, the hobbiespot app, in its version 3.2, offers its users a selection of plans and events carefully curated based on their interests; such activities may have been created by the users themselves as well as by event promoters and companies. Currently, hobbiespot is able to serve this technology by means of a plugin that is embedded in the website of another company, and uses the current database adapted to their interests. Of course, this plugin works with simplicity for the end user and reliability for the client.

The plugin is integrated into the web of corporations and companies

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to have an ideal team of people, both computer developers and in the area of marketing, to ensure the effectiveness of this solution. In addition to continuing to develop and expand this tool, hobbiespot needs the acquisition of specific proprietary software licenses.

With the prospect of a market clearly marked by the demand for experiences, hobbiespot advances step by step, with determination, to become a key component thanks to its range of services. In this difficult and exciting path, hobbiespot is constantly working to incorporate new partners and allies to join in the new challenges.
