Investment Opportunity with Restorya Stays (curated staycations + emerging local booking platform, Philippines)

JJhosua Magno2mo ago0 replies

We're opening conversations for our ₱15M seed investment round for Restorya Stays.

Before we talk about investment, I'd rather share what we've already built, what we're trying to achieve, and where the business currently stands.

We'd rather have potential investors verify our progress than just take our word for it.

WHAT WE'VE BUILT

Restorya Stays started in June 2025 with just one short-term rental unit.

Since then, we've grown into a staycation business with real operations, bookings, an established audience, and now a bigger plan: building a localized booking marketplace for Filipino hosts and guests.

Here's where we are today:

  • 370,000+ followers across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, built primarily through organic content.

  • 700+ daily inquiries from our existing audience.

  • 23 units under our current short-term rental operations.

  • Around ₱500K–₱600K in monthly gross booking value during stronger months.

  • 68 hosts on our waitlist, representing 100+ potential property listings, acquired without paid host-acquisition campaigns.

  • Early testing with 3 partnered hosts and 4 listings, where we've already generated bookings through our existing audience.

These are actual operations and early marketplace results, not just projections.

WHY WE'RE BUILDING THE PLATFORM

One of the problems we've experienced is receiving inquiries for locations where we don't have any available units.

That's demand we're losing because we cannot accommodate everyone.

At the same time, many Filipino hosts are struggling with price competition, increasing expenses, and relying heavily on international booking platforms.

This is the opportunity we see.

Instead of continuously expanding through units we personally rent or manage, we want to build a marketplace where trusted Filipino hosts can list their properties and benefit from the demand we're already generating.

A platform where hosts compete on guest experience, quality, and service, not just whoever offers the lowest price.

We're not saying we can replace Airbnb, Agoda, or Booking.com overnight.

But we believe we can build a strong local alternative that better understands Filipino guests and hosts.

Our technical co-founder is currently developing the platform, and we're targeting our initial MVP launch by the end of November 2026.

WHY WE'RE RAISING ₱15M

We're opening our first seed equity round to help us build and scale the platform properly.

The capital will primarily go toward:

  • Platform development and building a dedicated team.

  • Host onboarding and property verification.

  • Working capital and strengthening operations.

  • Marketing, guest acquisition, and partnerships with travel creators.

The goal is to launch the platform, onboard more hosts, generate marketplace bookings, and build a business that can eventually scale beyond our own managed properties.

THE HONEST PICTURE

Restorya Stays is still an early-stage business.

Our existing rental operations have generated meaningful revenue, but net profitability has been tight because of operating expenses, expansion costs, and financing pressure.

And while we already have an established audience and early host interest, we still need to prove that our marketplace can generate repeat bookings, retain hosts and guests, and scale profitably.

We don't want to hide those challenges.

But we're also not starting from zero.

We have real operating experience, actual customers, an established audience, early partnered hosts, and 68 hosts who have already expressed interest in joining our platform.

Now we want to turn those advantages into a scalable Philippine technology business.

THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

We're raising ₱15,000,000 in seed equity funding.

This is a company-level investment focused on building and scaling Restorya Stays as a booking marketplace, not an investment tied to the profit of one condominium unit.

We're looking for investors and strategic partners who understand early-stage businesses, hospitality, travel technology, marketplaces, or the Philippine startup ecosystem.

The investment terms and ownership structure will be discussed with serious potential partners.

If you're interested in learning more, send me a message.

I'm happy to share our updated pitch deck, financial model, business plan, and actual operating numbers, including the gaps and challenges we're still working through.
