Innovative property management
DiBooQ was founded in September 2019 by Ralf Spielvogel and Sascha Füller in Potsdam and offers two property management systems — one for Holiday home owner And one for holiday home agencies. Both systems are integrated on a vacation rental platform and enable efficient management of bookings, live availability and the exchange of information within a network. Unlike traditional booking portals, DiBooQ is revolutionizing the process by digitizing interaction between stakeholders in real time and making it possible to offer accommodation directly via the network. Compared to competitors, DiboOQ stands out because it connects all participants on one platform. For owners of vacation properties, the platform offers central occupancy management, direct booking processing and an up-to-date occupancy calendar, which leads to higher workloads, time savings and additional income. Since its market launch in November 2021, more than 5,000 owners and over 100 agencies in 60 different countries have been using DiBooQ Property Management Systems. Co-founder Ralf Spielvogel gives us an insight into the development of DiBooQ and how they became Tokenize.it customers.
When did you start?
In September 2019, we founded DiBooQ GmbH in Potsdam.
What type of service do you offer?
We have two property management systems. One for holiday home owners and one for holiday home agencies. Both systems run on one platform. One of the advantages of this is that we can also provide holiday home agencies with new accommodation.
How did you come up with the idea for your service/product?
Sascha and I set up a holiday home agency before DiBooQ and noticed that all software systems lack a live connection to our owners' availabilities. That's how the first ideas were created back then as to how to solve this.
How did you hear about Tokenize.it?
Through one of our business angels who works at a start-up (Reignite) was invested, which was the first start-up ever to tokenize shares via Tokeniz.it GmbH. We found that extremely exciting.
What prompted you to use this type of fundraising?
Especially to attract new groups of investors. After the first 3 tickets worth 25,000€ each, I can say that Tokenize.it has been a great success for us so far. We'll be our second ESOP program Now also map via Tokenize.it.
What was the reaction of your investors to the introduction of GmbH tokens?
In particular, a very high level of interest in this rather new way of investing in start-ups. I had asked Christoph to present Tokenize.it to our investors. Almost all investors were there and there were exciting questions. This has clearly shown me that this form of funding will become more relevant for the start-up ecosystem over the next few years.
