Fund
The Booking Agency is bootstrapped and self-funded. We do not have outside investors. We do not need them today. If the right partner wants meaningful involvement in what we are building, two supporter tiers are available.

What we are not looking for
- Term sheets that change our independence
- VCs measuring quarterly growth metrics
- Investors who want to push us toward per-transaction economics (we are a subscription-based discovery platform)
- Anyone who wants exclusivity over data, talent, or partnerships
What we are open to
- Strategic supporters who built something similar and have specific expertise (booking, travel, talent platforms, location-independent work)
- Sponsors aligned with the location-independent work movement
- Partners who can co-build a vertical (medical talent, legal talent, enterprise events)
- Long-term capital that respects the bootstrapped pace

Get in touch
If you fit the above and want to talk, email [email protected] with the subject line "fund inquiry". We respond within 5 business days.
We do not share pitch decks, financials, or detailed metrics until a fit is established through conversation first. This is intentional: we are building this for the long term, not for the next round.
Tara Trade International LLC is a Wyoming for-profit limited liability company, not a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Supporter contributions are paid for the perks listed in each tier. These are not tax-deductible charitable donations.
