Where LINX Sits

Every trip has three phases. LINX owns two of them.

Operators run the trip itself. LINX owns the discovery that starts it — and the memory that ends it. The memory is what feeds the next trip.

Pre-Trip
Discovery
A trusted person recommends the trip. LINX is where it's found.
During-Trip
The Experience
The operator delivers the logistics and the trip on the ground.
Post-Trip
The Memory
LINX turns the trip into a memory — a film and a keepsake.
The memory feeds the loop. Every memory gets shared — and becomes the discovery that starts someone else's next trip. That loop is the business.
The Model

Two revenue streams.

Commission on every booking that flows through the network, plus recurring subscriptions from the curators and operators who live on the platform.

Stream 1 · Commission

10% of every booking.

LINX takes a flat 10% commission on every trip booked through the network. That 10% is then split three ways.

below
Curator tierLINXCuratorTraveler credit
Free60%30%10%
Pro50%40%10%
Elite30%60%10%

The split shifts toward the curator as they commit to a paid tier. On the $5,000 example: a Free curator earns $1,500, LINX keeps $3,000, the traveler gets $500 in platform credit. The traveler always receives 10% back as credit.

Stream 2 · Subscriptions — Curators

Curators pay to earn more.

The commission split above is set by the curator's tier. Higher tiers keep more of every booking — that's the recurring revenue.

Free · invite-only
$0
Keeps 30% of commission. Access and community, no fee.
Pro
$XX / mo
Keeps 40%. The insider membership — access, events, network.
Elite
$XXX / mo
Keeps 60%. The earning engine — for curators seriously monetizing.

Subscription pricing is being finalized — magnitudes shown are indicative.

Stream 2 · Subscriptions — Operators

Operators pay for the machine.

Operators list free and pay 10% only on closed bookings. Software tiers layer recurring revenue on top — and the top tier replaces a whole marketing department.

Starter
Free
List, accept referrals, pay 10% on closed bookings.
Professional
$XXX / mo
Performance analytics and pipeline visibility.
Enterprise · building toward
$100K / yr
Full visibility into the back-end — analytics, referrer CRM, pipeline — plus the LINX memory engine: creation, storage, video, and campaigns. Replaces a full marketing agency.

Enterprise is where the platform is headed: the operator's entire marketing engine — booking channel, back-end intelligence, and memory production in one.

The Market

A $58.9B luxury market, sized by category.

Inside $1.59T of global travel sits $58.9B of experiential luxury (trips over $500/day) — LINX's addressable market. Here's how it breaks down.

Go-To-Market

Our go-to-market strategy.

Operators first — LINX creates their memories, which locks in supply and seeds demand. Then the Legends, whose reputation is the verification layer. Reputation replaces advertising.

Arm 1 · Operators

Operators × LINX Memories

The keystone operator benefit is a cinematic memory — a film LINX creates from every trip. Like early Airbnb sending photographers to shoot every host, LINX owns the memory layer: memories recruit travelers, operators become the heroes, and supply locks in as the graph compounds.

Arm 2 · The Legends

The LINX Legends

A small, capped cohort of Hall-of-Fame-tier athletes, explorers, and icons — one set per category. Their reputation is the verification layer; their curated trips are the discovery surface. They earn only when their recommendations convert.

The Target Audience

Where the market lies.

Wealth isn't an abstraction — it's densely clustered in trackable hubs. From Silicon Valley to Palm Beach, Aspen to Fisher Island, the demand and the supply are countable and reachable.

The Business Model, In 30 Seconds

Commission, plus software on both sides.

A 10% commission on every trip, and recurring software revenue from the traveler side and the operator side — compounding as the trust graph grows.

1 · Commission take-rate
10%
Of every booking that flows through the network — split with the curator who drove it.
2 · SaaS · Traveler side
Monthly
Curators subscribe — Free → Pro → Elite — to keep a bigger share of every booking they refer.
3 · SaaS · Operator side
→ $100K / yr
Operators subscribe for the back-end and the memory engine — Enterprise replaces a full marketing agency.
That's the whole model. A 10% commission on every trip, and software on both sides of the network.
