How They're Building the Airbnb for Houseboats: The Story of FLOHOM
Meet Brian Meyer and Selly Butler - the founders of FLOHOM a new hospitality start-up that offers stunning, on-the-water stays in marinas across the mid-Atlantic.
Selly is a serial entrepreneur whose latest venture is in the marina business. One day Selly received a call from an enthusiastic entrepreneur who asked to place Oysters in his marina as part of a water purification and protection nonprofit that he was running.
This enthusiastic entrepreneur? Well, yes, it was Brian Meyer.
And while the two couldn’t have known it at the time, this one phone call would change the course of both of their lives forever.
In this video, Brian and Selly discuss:
- Where the idea for FLOHOM came from
- How hard it was to get the necessary permits to be able to rent a floating home that’s also a houseboat as a short-term rental
- What their go-to-market strategy for FLOHOM has looked like so far
- The new economic potential businesses like FLOHOM can generate for marinas
- Why they are vertically integrated
- And so much more
