Founding 50 · Application

Become One of the Founding 50.

We're intentionally selecting a limited number of independent hotel owners to help shape the future of OpenStay. This short application helps us understand your property, your goals, and whether we're the right long-term partner.

Estimated time: 2–3 minutes
What Happens After You Apply

A consultative partnership — not a software signup.

  1. Step 01

    Our team reviews your application.

    We read every submission carefully to understand your property, timing, and what you're building toward.

  2. Step 02

    We'll schedule a discovery conversation.

    A focused call — no sales script — to learn how your hotel operates and where support could make a real difference.

  3. Step 03

    We'll evaluate your property's goals and operational needs.

    Together we look at fit: your operating priorities, our capacity, and whether OpenStay is the right long-term partner.

  4. Step 04

    If we're a mutual fit, we'll invite you to join the Founding 50.

    Selected owners receive a participation offer with a clear scope, timeline, and implementation plan.
