Pitch Deck – TARMAC

1. Vision

“TARMAC: Africa’s Booking.com + Real Estate platform. A one-stop digital marketplace for booking hotels, experiences, and rentals — while also connecting users to property sales and long-term housing, designed for Africa’s realities.”

2. Problem

• Africa’s travel & real estate sectors are booming but face major gaps:

• Limited online booking adoption → most reservations still offline
• Fragmented accommodation & property market
• Low visibility for local hotels, guesthouses, and real estate agents
• Lack of trust in property listings (fraud, misrepresentation)
• Poor integration of Mobile Money & local payments

3. Solution – TARMAC

• Travel booking: hotels, guesthouses, vacation rentals, tours & activities
• Real estate integration: buy, rent, and lease properties directly in-app
• Verified listings: trusted partners, property certification & fraud prevention
• Local payments: Mobile Money, bank transfers, debit/credit cards
• Property management tools: for landlords, agents & developers
• Africa-optimized: low data usage, multilingual interface, SMS/USSD confirmations

4. Market & Opportunity

• African travel market: $168B by 2030 (WTTC)
• Real estate market: $1.5T by 2030 (PwC Africa)
• Mobile-first continent: 600M+ smartphone users by 2030
• No leading platform combining travel booking + real estate → Blue Ocean Opportunity

5. Business Model

• Booking commissions (10–15%)
• Listing fees for real estate agents & developers
• Premium subscriptions (priority placement, analytics, booking management)
• Advertising revenues (hotels, airlines, developers, travel brands)
• Ancillary services (insurance, mortgages, property financing)

6. Traction (3-Year Projection)

• Year 1: 50K bookings / 5K properties listed
• Year 2: 500K bookings / 50K properties → $50M GMV
• Year 3: 5M bookings / 200K properties → $500M GMV
• Projected revenues: $80M (commissions + listings + premium + ads)

7. Why TARMAC?

• First platform combining travel & real estate for Africa
• Trust-driven with verified listings & secure payments
• Financial inclusion via Mobile Money & local banks
• Empowers local hotels, landlords, and real estate agents
• Scalable across Africa’s tourism + property markets + diaspora

We are seeking $12M to:
• Build advanced booking & real estate tech (AI recommendations, fraud detection, secure payments)
• Onboard hotels, guesthouses, and real estate agencies across Africa
• Expand into 6 key markets: Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Ghana
• Forge partnerships with banks, telcos, airlines, and property developers
