I own a travel company in India - How Do I cooperate with Yonder Global ...?

Hi Ajay, Thanks for the question. While we are currently primarily in US and Canada, we are beginning our test expansion into a few international markets. We fully intend to go global in years to come. Send me a note, let's talk.

When did the site go live and how many bookings to date?

Hi Chase, great questions! We went live on March 4th 2020, epic timing right?! So in light of Covid we had a slow start in March and April, yet more or less met our very modest forecast. Now, in June, with the country opening up a bit more, we are now seeing a significant uptick, to a tune of average 4 to 5 bookings per day, which puts us on target at 150 monthly bookings. We've been seeing doubling of our business each month from March forward, which I think is pretty remarkable!

Can you give details about your previous funding round? How did you arrive at the $18M pre-money valuation? If you hit your target for this round, when do you expect to have to raise funds again and how do you plan on raising?

Hi John, and thank you for your interest, and questions. We have raised $ 4M+ in primarily 3 rounds, as indicated, since December 2018. This investment has come in from founders which shows our commitment and belief in Yonder's success. We valued the company originally based on this investment as a baseline, and we have since - over 18 months - a) Built a stellar platform with very unique and advanced functionalities, b) we have built Native Apps on Android and iOS fully paired, and...

What's the monthly $ burn rate and what $ reserves are on hand to make it to the next round in spring 2021 as described? What do the income numbers look like for 2020 to date?

Hi Christophe and thank you for the questions, and thank you for being a Yonder steward! Our current burn rate is $ 160k per month, and we are covered through the end of the Wefunder and the Reg D raise immediately following. Thereafter we have forecast a growth rate and a burn rate budget that takes us to April 2021, at which point a Series A fundraise will be concluded to take us forward incorporating all the traction gains then realized. Revenue is currently growing steadily since launch, ...

Invested $1,000 this round

These are unprecedented times. If we’ve learned anything from being quarantined, it’s that we all need to get out. We need to be free. We need a change of scenery. We need nature! Studies show that stress and depression can be reduced by going out into nature and Yonder has presented itself at the perfect time. As restrictions are starting to relax throughout the U.S., Yonder highlights places near major cities where you can road-trip into nature and de-stress. What makes Yonder interesting and different is that the properties they select for the platform have special criteria such as 180-degree views of nature, are eco-friendly, and hosts (referred to as Stewards) must be deeply knowledgeable about the property. The economics of the platform are better than other booking sites for both host and guest and their niche focus will serve a huge new demand in the marketplace. As a newly minted Yonder Steward myself I believe that the future of travel is Yonder.
