Founding 50 Qualification
Become One of the Founding 50
We're intentionally partnering with 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.
Why Only 50?
Limited by design, not by demand.
Thoughtful implementation takes time and attention. By capping the Founding 50 at fifty properties, we can work closely with each owner, tailor the operating plan to each hotel, and refine the model based on real independent hotel experience.
