Skina

Transforming traditional leisure—long, planned, generic activities—into short, 5–30 minute experiences that fit naturally into daily routines.

Leveraging geolocation and contextual notifications to suggest spontaneous, almost “hands‑free” plans.

Encouraging more spontaneous, sustainable engagement with local culture and businesses, turning the immediacy of the city into an advantage for the user.

Research

Benchmark

The benchmark analysis focused on both direct and indirect competitors within the experiences marketplace ecosystem. Direct competitors such as Fever and TripAdvisor offer a wide range of curated experiences and strong social proof mechanisms, but often present information overload and limited personalization in discovery flows. As an indirect competitor, Google Maps plays a key role in local exploration, providing accessibility and real-time context, although it lacks emotional curation and experiential focus. This analysis helped identify opportunities to create a more intuitive, personalized, and experience-driven platform.

SWOT

Top opportunities voted by users: 1. Rekindle general interest 2. Low-cost or free plans 3. Short and accessible activities

Insight

Key Insights Users express frustration with current experience platforms, describing them as time-consuming, expensive, and lacking immediacy. There is a strong sensitivity to price, available time, and distance, especially when planning spontaneous activities. Many participants reported that their free time is often wasted due to decision fatigue or lack of relevant options. At the same time, there is a clear appreciation for supporting local businesses, although not at the expense of excluding well-known chains.
