GreenGo is only a year old, but the start-up has big ambitions. It aims to be a green alternative to the major tourist accommodation booking platforms, French, responsible, and mission-driven business. The principle : “We select nice accommodations that make you want to travel locally, with hosts that are relatively more committed than the average from an ecological point of view. We also offer a fairer commission model than the big platforms with lower commissions for a fair remuneration of accommodation providers and a fair price for travelers”, explains Guillaume Jouffre.
Launched by four friends from engineering schools, GreenGo wants to bring back the taste for travel close to home, be a “Green AirBnB” et Guillaume Jouffre is sure that the market is ready to receive his innovation. The start-up started with the personal savings of the four founders. It was still necessary to raise one million euros, half of which comes from hosts who have become shareholders. The founders of GreenGo are sure that all the signals are… green.
