We make them online bookable. Eric-Jan Krausch during his Startuprad.io interview   The FounderIn this interview for Invest-in-hessen.com we are talking to Eric-Jan Krausch (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ejkrausch/), Founder and CEO of Frankfurt-based proptech and business travel startup ACOMODEO (https://www.acomodeo.com/en-us/). Eric is born in Frankfurt and originally worked in a radio station. He even studied music business in Mannheim (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popakademie_Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg).  He also worked for innovation departments at large and established companies. After that Eric became a freelancer, working as consultant for several companies.   Our global footprint is supported by our location in Frankfurt.

The company provides on its platform multinational companies with apartments all around the world. This is a great service for multinationals since they must provide housing for their employees on international assignments. One can book apartments on Acomodeo from four days to two years. The goal is to get the client a seamless travel experience, so the startup sees itself more like a startup in the travel industry (traveltech), rather than a property startup (proptech).   For a B2B startup this [Frankfurt] is a better location. Eric-Jan Krausch during his Startuprad.io interview   Acomodeo vets the suppliers before they get on their platform. They focus on other points that a hotel platform would like the question: Is there a fully equipped kitchen, including a toaster?     Joe’s Tip (AL)The hard thing about hard things https://amzn.to/2Tjx4pt   The Video Interview (this interview will go live on Thursday, March 19th 15.00 CET, 14.00 UK, 10 am ET)https://youtu.be/s25u8VrKw6Y Further ReadingsCity of Mannheim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannheim Napster (in case you never have heard of it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzbrVpG90yc Deutsche Telekom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Telekom German Accelerator Program (helped Acomodeo to start their New York Office): https://www.germanaccelerator.com/ Folge direkt herunterladen --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/startupradio/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/startupradio/support
