About SplitStay
SplitStay is building the coordination layer for group travel.
Before anyone books, groups often have to align on dates, budgets, accommodation, room configurations, and individual preferences — usually across WhatsApp threads, spreadsheets, calls, and one person doing most of the chasing.
We’re building a better way.
We’re currently testing our first coordination MVP with real groups and are looking for an experienced group travel organizer who can bring firsthand insight into how these decisions actually happen.
Who we’re looking for
We’re not looking for someone who simply travels frequently.
We’re looking for someone who has repeatedly been the person responsible for getting a group from “we should go” to an actual shared decision.
You may have organized travel for:
- sports clubs, endurance teams, or competitions
- retreats or communities
- friend or alumni groups
- startup/company offsites
- festivals, conferences, or events
- university or student groups
- creator or member communities
- other recurring group-travel situations
You should have firsthand experience dealing with questions such as:
- Who is coming? When?
- What can everyone afford?
- Where should we stay?
- Who is comfortable sharing?
- What happens when preferences conflict?
What you’d help us understand
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Initially, we’d like to learn from your real experience:
- How your groups currently coordinate trips
- Where the process tends to stall or become painful
- Which decisions require genuine group agreement
- What organizers currently do manually
- What would make coordination meaningfully easier
We’re particularly interested in the difference between trips where some constraints are already fixed by an organizer and trips where the group still needs to converge on the decision together.
Why now
SplitStay is entering a hands-on experimentation phase: ship → real use case → observe → learn → improve.
Rather than designing the coordination model from assumptions, we want people who have lived the problem to challenge what we’re building and help us understand how different groups actually behave.
The initial step is a short conversation about a recent group trip you organized, followed by the opportunity to participate in our current product research and potentially test SplitStay with a relevant group.
Potential advisory relationship
This is not a salaried employment role.
If there is exceptional mutual fit and you can bring ongoing domain expertise, access to relevant communities, pilot opportunities, or strategic value, there may be an opportunity to join SplitStay formally as an advisor.
Any longer-term advisory relationship would be discussed separately and could be structured using the Founder Institute FAST (Founder / Advisor Standard Template) framework, including advisor equity where appropriate.

How to apply
Please apply through LinkedIn and include a short note covering:
- What kinds of group trips you’ve organized or coordinated, and roughly how many people were involved.
- How your groups typically decided where to stay, and what made that process difficult.
- Why you’d be interested in helping shape SplitStay at this stage.
After applying, send a connection request to Ruben Vanhees, Founder & CEO of SplitStay, mentioning “Group Travel Advisor” in the note.
Selected applicants will be invited to a short conversation to discuss their experience and provide perspective on the coordination challenges SplitStay is tackling.
For exceptional long-term fits, there may be an opportunity to become a formal SplitStay advisor under a FAST-style advisor agreement with equity, based on mutual fit and contribution.
