What Flataway.ai does

Flataway.ai is a Sofia, Bulgaria-based software company founded in 2023 that builds AI-driven tools for the vacation rental industry, primarily targeting independent property managers seeking to reduce dependence on online travel agencies. Its core product, Staycy, is a generative-AI website builder that converts plain-English business descriptions into SEO-optimized direct booking websites, integrated with an AI discoverability layer that makes properties accessible through AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude. Underlying this product is Calry, a unified API that connects to more than 40 vacation rental and hotel property management systems (including Guesty, Lodgify, Hostaway, Hostify, Hosthub, Siteminder, and Vacationrent365), enabling real-time synchronization of availability, reservations, guest data, and pricing.

The company operates on a SaaS subscription revenue model, distributing its platform through self-serve digital signup and complementary demo-based sales, supported by conference-led awareness campaigns across Dubai, Rome, Manchester, and Sofia. Flataway has raised approximately €800,000 in an October 2025 round led by Eleven Ventures with participation from Angel Invest, following an earlier March 2023 seed of roughly $534,327 from Eleven Ventures. The team comprises 1-10 employees based in Bulgaria, with active plans to expand AI engineering capacity. The company's stated value proposition is lowering OTA commission costs and technical barriers for SMB vacation property managers by automating direct booking website creation.
