I started my coliving space for digital nomads in 2013. Most of the guests were in their 30' and single.
A few families contacted me, but I saw it as too niche to create a service for them.
The pandemic changed everything as those single nomads now have own families, and the market is much bigger.
But these families face the same challenges - there is not much infrastructure to travel and work remotely.
Let's have a look at this market:
There are many reasons, but here are what I consider the most important one:
I have a dozen friends with small kids who are already doing this. They all struggle to find the suitable accommodation:
The main challenge is to facilitate the care of the kids:
a) Structured programs
b) Family-friendly colivings
c) Family hotels and resorts
d) Non-profit communities
e) On-demand childcare
Why is it a good business opportunity?
How would I do it?
Is someone building this? I would love to invest and help (distribution, product, etc.).
If you are trying to build the next Marriott, this newsletter is probably NOT for you.
But you will love it if you are acquiring land for glamping, bootstrapping a coliving space, buying a small hotel, building a cabin, hustling with Airbnb apartments, launching a niche marketplace, renting on Hipcamp... or you just like exploring new hospitality trends and building stuff.
Don't expect any online courses or similar bs. This newsletter is my personal hack to attract people who are into these topics, brainstorm ideas and then maybe do something together.
I share my stories of building a portfolio of hospitality business and running tons of experiments.
