Launch of a South African Hotel Accommodation Site

March 27th, 2007 · 1 Comment

A travel commerce engine with a twist is launching in South Africa soon. Lastminute.com tried to launch a local version a few years back, and it didn’t do well for a number of reasons. After speaking to the founders of this company, I believe they are going to have an extremely successful business model in a very short space of time. The site will be going live in the next few weeks, and incorporates a good deal of 2.0 way of thinking into it.

Initial funding of R2M is now closed, but a 2nd round of R5M is opening once the site goes live.

Contact me if this opportunity interests you.
