Trip planning today is messy: endless tabs, outdated info, tourist traps. We make it simple.
Arie builds your trip in minutes. Real-time events, local tips beyond maps, audio guides, spatial scans, AR and much more.

A month ago @explorearie barely existed.
Last month:
> finished the MVP0
> fired our CTO, built it ourselves
> ML onboard
> 15 user interviews step by step
> ~7M organic views in social media
> one trip together to Bordeaux
Closed beta very soon. This is no longer a joke.
Monthly report @explorearie 🛠️
> 3 calls with potential advisors, very strong conversations
> applied to @joinstationf (rejected)
> applied to The Pioneer (rejected)
> 1 call with a public institution about a potential partnership
> government programs & French innovation hubs, no traction so far
> approved for 2 corporate startup grant programs
> and the most important part: MVP 0 is done 🔥 and it’s way better than I expected.
Building is messy. Progress is rarely linear.
But this month felt real.
Hey, @explorearie weekly✳️
> call with an angel fund
> 🇫🇷 accelerator apps submitted (not counting on it, but worth a try)
> found a CTO, product moving fast
> beta waitlist growing on its own (thx @jackfriks — crazy how well this works)
> and honestly getting a reply from @DaLiberman and @nevgen this week felt surreal, tiny things keep you going
