Win over investors with a powerful site rental pitch

Issue

Currently, many people face difficulties when finding a suitable venue for their events. John, a recent graduate, found himself in a difficult situation while hosting his graduation party. He had to plan several tasks such as catering, music and decorations while finding a suitable venue for the occasion. He spent countless hours browsing different websites and even had to physically visit multiple sites before he found one that suited his needs.

This problem is not unique to John. Many people planning events face the same challenge. Additionally, reliable information and credible reviews are not readily available online, which makes it difficult for individuals to make informed decisions on an appropriate venue.

The issue is highly relevant to society as events are an integral part of human social life . Occasions such as weddings, birthdays and corporate events require appropriate venues to ensure the success of the event and guest satisfaction.

The current solution for this problem is through word-of-mouth recommendations, physical site visits, and websites offering limited information and opinions. These methods are time-consuming, unreliable and often lead to settling for a sub-optimal venue . This solution is not suitable for people who are time poor or who have specific requirements for their event.

The reason why this problem exists is because there is no centralized platform for individuals to access reliable and comprehensive information about the sites. The current location-finding process is fragmented, leading to inconvenience and dissatisfaction among individuals.
