NomadWay

What NomadWay does

NomadWay operates a community-driven mobile application that helps digital nomads and remote workers connect, organize local events, and access curated partner services. The platform is built around location-based and global chat groups, event creation and discovery, nearby-people features, and a profile-approval moderation system intended to enforce real-world connection over online visibility. The app is available on iOS and Android, with companion website directories for coworking and coliving spaces, an editorial blog, and a partners and deals hub featuring more than 40 partner brands across festivals, accommodations, mobility, insurance, and immigration services.

The company was founded in 2018 in Tallinn, Estonia (legal entity NomadWay OÜ) by Maria Cuesta and Jean-Baptiste Michel, who met in a coworking space. It remains bootstrapped, founder-led, and small (1–10 employees), with no institutional funding disclosed. Growth has been entirely organic, driven by word-of-mouth, festival partnerships, and a curated partner network. Reported scale includes 4,000+ users, 50+ city communities, 800+ events hosted, and activity across 40+ countries, with a notable Mediterranean concentration in Spain, Italy, and Portugal.

The business model is freemium on the consumer side — the app is free to join and use — with monetization currently anchored to affiliate and referral arrangements with partners such as Saily, IATI Seguros, Salas Immigration, Movewise, Pangia Pass, coworking brands, and coliving operators. Future revenue streams signaled by the company include premium features and expanded partnership deals. Distribution is app-store-led, supplemented by content marketing, event sponsorships, and partner referrals, with no traditional paid acquisition.
