Rentivo - Gets a boost from crowd funding

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

I really do wish them well, but I also wish I fully understood what their goals really are. Their website headline says that they are a Web Builder plus payments and calendar sync. More in the PMP space than listing site. But they seem to list all sites built with their web builder. I'm confused.

I, also, couldn't work out what their aim is. I assumed that they are keeping their cards close to their chest. I'm also astounded that they have attracted funding unless there's some way for the funding providers to get a clearer understanding of what they are working on.
Cheers, Ben

I have talked to them a bit, but they were very busy with crowdfunding, so we didn;t get far. But I think I will start talking to them again.

Their philosophy and attitude is great, but I am also confused exactly what they are doing, or whether they are competing with me.

Yes, I came across them on smarthosts. I think they may actually be the same people. They seem to have done well on their crowdfunding, in fact I think they were oversubscribed, which if it's true is pretty impressive in the current market, as I couldn't really see what their USP was.
