Back forward –
Travel is an amazingly analog activity. With the exception of booking, most of the other steps are still largely technology-free. Limehome wants to change that. We show you how the start-up works in Munich in the location portrait.
2020 was not an easy year for the entire travel industry. And the start into 2021 is not looking particularly good for the time being.
In the end, a lot depends on how quickly the vaccine against the coronavirus is available, how quickly people can be tested, and how the risk is reduced this way around the globe.
And when it is possible to travel again, it may also be a little more digital than before. Because if we’re honest, private and professional trips aren’t particularly digital.
The only exception is usually the booking. This is done in the vast majority of cases via digital platforms such as Airbnb or Booking.com. But that is where digitization ends – at least so far.

Because Limehome wants to drive the digitization of the travel industry. As usual, this begins with the booking, but continues until check-out and the subsequent billing.
And the Munich start-up’s plan seems to be working. Within just two years, the company has grown from a two-man operation to a company with around 100 employees – and the trend is rising.
But what about behind the scenes at the company? We’ll show you in today’s location portrait.
