Bucharest, March 2025 — The first three months of 2025 have been anything but slow at Marv. After wrapping up an energetic 2024, we shifted our focus to product refinement and scalability—and the results are showing.

We kicked off the year by reworking one of the most important user touchpoints: the homepage and registration flow. Thanks to real feedback from early users, our onboarding experience is now simpler, clearer, and faster—so Marvelers and Counselors can start connecting without friction.

🚀 300+ Users, 70+ Cities, 18 Countries (and Counting)
Since going live for public use, we’ve seen over 300 users register in just under two months. Even more exciting? They’re spread out across 70+ cities and 18+ European countries. Marv is officially moving beyond the prototype phase and into real travelers’ hands—and it’s only just begun.

💻 Product First, Always
While social media took a bit of a backseat this quarter (we’ve got big plans to rev it back up), our website traffic says a lot: 2,000+ impressions with an engagement rate above 35%. That means people aren’t just landing on Marv—they’re sticking around.

🤝 Strategic Partnerships in Progress
Behind the scenes, we’ve been in conversations at a European level to build partnerships that can help us boost visibility and scale impact. While details are under wraps for now, we’re laying the groundwork for some powerful collaborations in the months to come.

👥 Team Steady, Focus Sharp
No new hires this trimester—and that’s a good thing. The current Marv crew is focused, aligned, and working efficiently across product, operations, and growth. Our energy is going into refining what we’ve built and scaling it the right way.

💬 Investor Talks Begin
We’ve opened early-stage conversations with potential investors who see Marv’s potential and share our vision for making travel more human, local, and meaningful. Nothing official yet, but 2025 is shaping up to be a big chapter.

From the Founders
"The feedback we’ve received has been gold. We took it, improved fast, and now we’re watching real users engage across Europe—it’s a wild and exciting feeling."
— Gilberto Amendola, CEO & Co-founder

"This quarter was about building smarter, not just louder. And now we’re ready to amplify. The community is forming, and the road ahead looks seriously inspiring."
— Ana Rusu, CBO & Co-founder

Looking Ahead to Q2
Next stop: community growth, social media reactivation, and exciting partnership launches. We’re not just building a travel platform—we’re creating a movement where locals and travelers co-create better journeys, together.
