Our one-line pitch is…
miavia is your marketplace for handcrafted travel guides.
Introduce your team. We are…
Anna-Clara, Bianca, Andreas, Chris and Stefan. Together we are the Maggelans. We have come to sail the seven seas and provide a simple way to connect like-minded travelers around the world to help each other doing better trips and spent less time on planning.
The team a.k.a. the Maggelans Photo: miaviaWe received our initial capital through…
Ourselves. We bootstrapped miavia in the first place.
Our boldest move was…
Starting a business in the crowded space of online travel and believing in the own power to change this industry. One of the biggest markets, but also one of the most competitive ones in the world.
A little more infoThe real pain about starting a business in Austria is…
Bureaucracy one might say. But the real pain is that there are almost no (level A) investors.
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
Our team plant, named Mount Everest. The only flower in the office, reminding us to aim high. No, just kidding. We would save our brand new iMac.
The worst piece of advice we ever got was…
A typically Austrian one: “Why don’t you try something less riskier?”
We’ll give up when…
We have no more ideas on how to reinvent our business. This is called the Schumpeterian way of giving up.
Our inside joke is…
Ah, should we have one? Well then… Tripadvisor is a very well designed, clear and helpful website to plan a trip.
You might not believe it, but we…
Do not travel much these days. Think about it.
We’ll call ourselves successful when…
We have made millions of travelers happy, built a sustainable company worth millions and the Samwer brothers tried to copy us without success.
