From
YOU
To
WAYO
Cofounder
The product is live and I've built it end to end. What it needs now is a second founder who sees the same problem and wants to own half of the answer.
What you'd do
- Own a whole side of the company: operations and the local network, growth, or engineering.
- Talk to travellers every week and turn what they say into decisions.
- Help decide where WAYO goes after the first five cities.
- Who it's for
- Someone strong in travel operations, growth, or engineering, ready to go full-time.
- Time on board
- Full-time, after we've worked together on something real first.
- What you get
- Meaningful equity and an equal say in what WAYO becomes.

How we work
Three things we won't compromise on
Honest over impressive
We don't invent numbers or reviews. If it isn't true yet, we don't put it on the site.
Travellers first
Decisions start with a real trip that went wrong, not a feature someone thought sounded clever.
Small, then bigger
Do things by hand, learn what works, then build the software. That's how the local checks started.
A note from the founder
“Every trip plan looks perfect until you're standing outside a place that closed last year. I'm building WAYO so that stops happening, and I'd rather do it with a few people who care than many who don't.”
