“Can vacation rental managers escape OTA commissions by owning AI-discoverable direct-booking channels?”
Founded in 2023 as Flataway by former operators of one of Europe's largest short-term rental management companies. The team first built Calry, a unified PMS API, then pivoted to a broader hospitality direct-booking platform rebranded as OnSeason. The current thesis is that AI travel agents (ChatGPT, Claude) will disintermediate OTAs, and property managers need AI-discoverable direct-booking websites to capture that shift. Payments are outsourced entirely to Stripe — the company is a SaaS layer, not an embedded finance player.
OnSeason (ex. Flataway) processes payments through Stripe.
OnSeason (ex. Flataway) was founded by Boris Pavlov and Teodor Todorov and is founded in 2023, headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria.
OnSeason (ex. Flataway) has raised $534.3K in total (latest round: Pre-Seed, 2023).
