Why is Flappin’ different?
Reducing the choice process as much as possible, the Flappin’ team constantly optimizes the platform so that the user can enjoy the services offered in the shortest possible time and quickly finds what he or she is looking for, always ensuring a high quality of the proposal, at fixed and invariable prices.
In the traditional model of travel, leisure, and tourism, it is the user who is responsible for planning and investing his or her time in researching a flight, accommodation, or restaurant. The problem is that it is increasingly complex to choose the best option.
says Pol Clavell (CEO)
Since its launch in Spain in 2021, Flappin’ has managed to connect with Generation Z and Millennials, an audience that moves through a world overdosed with information, appreciates new experiences, and seeks authentic and affordable options by price range.
How was the idea born?
Thanks to the intuition of four young entrepreneurs Marc Teixidor (CEO), Pol Clavell (Co-CEO), Ferran García (COO), and Sergi Vila (President), all with previous experience in the organized travel industry and successful start-ups, Flappin’ ranks at the top of a $2.5 trillion market for experiential gifts and tourism.
CEO’s words “We are losing the essence of living in the moment..”
“We are losing the essence of living in the moment, of traveling into the unknown or discovering a new restaurant without losing our minds.”
CEO Marc Teixidor
The surprise experience is a trendy phenomenon that makes a mockery of organised trips planned well in advance. The idea of embarking on the unknown, like setting off without knowing the destination, is not as absurd as it might seem, because we live in an age where all kind of information is available and, if we have the anticipation of an experience or a gift that we are going to receive, the excitement can lose its original appeal.
..And that’s where Flappin’ comes in: we manage our users from start to end. In addition, we add the surprise factor, which makes every single experience even more exciting,
About Flappin’
The founders’ foresight was able to focus on the new needs felt by the market immediately after the pandemic. They identified an opportunity to capitalise on the growth and revolutionize the experiential gifting industry. With the support of digital, they created a unique platform integrating travel, leisure experiences and gifts.
With the sector growing rapidly and the lack of specific options for young people, the Spanish company’s primary objective was to fill this gap. To be able to reduce or in some cases eliminate the nuisance usually involved in planning a trip, choosing a restaurant or searching for the ideal gift.
The startup’s vision is to become a leader in its sector at a global level, setting as a goal for 2023, the expansion of the brand and team, today composed of 10 people in Spain, into new European markets.
