Traveliru
Traveliru is a travel-tech venture we co-founded: a digital concierge and booking platform connecting boutique hotels and short-term rentals, local tour operators, and the guests who stay with them. Tecnologías VM is the technical partner: we design and build the platform.
The platform, in build.
Only the teaser is public today. The platform itself (host-branded guest page, partner app) is still in build — nothing on it is live yet. It goes live in Costa Rica in 2026, starting with the first hotels.
A guest lands on their host's white-labeled activities page, browses a curated catalog of local experiences, and books and pays at checkout. That simple surface hides a full B2B2C marketplace: operator onboarding, the catalog, payments, settlement, host commissions, and all the refund and cross-border banking complexity. It runs invisibly, so the whole thing feels like part of the hotel's hospitality.
Underneath are three surfaces on one marketplace: the host-branded guest page, a unified partner app for hosts and tour operators, and a treasury layer that moves money across borders. For most operators in the launch market, it's the first digital booking system they've ever used, replacing paper, spreadsheets and WhatsApp.
Traveliru was founded in March 2026 and is still in early build, ahead of launch. It launches in Costa Rica, starting in La Fortuna (Arenal: volcano, hot springs, adventure tourism), where the founders' own boutique hotel will be the first property on the platform. It's a separate company, and we present our role exactly as it is: technical partners and co-founders.
The invisible service, end to end.

Traveliru is a separate company that we co-founded; Tecnologías VM's role is the technology and the product, which is why it sits here under ventures, not client work.
