Accelerating Web3 Adoption in Travel & Hospitality
Our Thesis: Web3 Will Eat Travel
We believe that the Web3 in travel & hospitality paradigm change is already happening slowly under our feet, like a tectonic shift.
It won't suddenly hit us quickly from above, like the meteorite everyone is looking for.
Hence, it's hard to spot for most, because they are looking in the wrong direction.
DON'T LOOK UP
About Us
We are a syndicate of partners from the tech, crypto, venture capital, and travel space, based in Switzerland's Crypto Valley.
We aim to accelerate the adoption of Web3 in travel & hospitality and help reinvent the industry while generating significant startup investment returns.
The Travel Industry's Upgrade to Web3
As the internet evolves with decentralization, cryptocurrency, and AI, the travel industry must embrace this transformation.
Tectris recognizes the potential of Web3 and aims to catalyze the industry's adaptation to this new paradigm.
Our Investment Strategy
Tectris's investment strategy is twofold:
We invest in open protocols, as they represent the foundation on which the whole Web3 in travel & hospitality industry will live.
They are the ground.
We invest in non-protocol, for-profit startups that serve as successful use cases for Web3 in the travel & hospitality industry.
They are the trees.
Leveraging AI
Tectris prioritizes investing in founders who effectively leverage AI in their ventures and explores the potential of "AI founders", individuals who can leverage AI to bring a product to market fit before expanding their team.
