Summary

Title: Hospitality Industry Connector Needed – Warm Introductions to Hotel Owners & Resort Executives I’m the founder of Solara, a patent-pending luxury hospitality concept designed to give hotels, resorts, and high-end properties a completely new premium guest experience. We’re currently preparing to launch our first prototype and are looking for our first pilot locations. I’m looking for someone who already has established relationships within the hospitality industry. This is not a cold-calling or lead generation position. I’m specifically looking for someone who can make warm introductions to decision-makers who may be interested in becoming one of Solara’s first pilot partners. Ideal connections include: • Hotel owners • Resort owners • General Managers • Regional Directors • Asset Managers • Hospitality management companies • Boutique hotel owners • Luxury resort executives • Hospitality consultants • Resort developers Your role would include: • Making warm introductions to qualified decision-makers. • Helping arrange introductory meetings and presentations. • Identifying hotels and resorts interested in signing a Letter of Intent (LOI) to become an early pilot location. • Providing strategic advice on entering the hospitality market. • Recommending industry organizations, conferences, and contacts that could accelerate Solara’s growth. The ideal candidate has: • Existing hospitality industry relationships. • Experience working with hotels, resorts, or hospitality companies. • Strong communication and networking skills. • A proven track record of opening doors and creating business opportunities. When applying, please include: 1. Your hospitality background. 2. The types of decision-makers you know (owners, GMs, management companies, investors, etc.). 3. Hotel brands, ownership groups, or independent properties you’ve worked with. 4. How you would approach helping Solara secure pilot locations. 5. Whether your relationships are primarily local, regional, national, or international. About Solara Solara is a patent-pending hospitality concept currently in development that offers a unique luxury guest experience unlike anything currently available in the market. We’re actively seeking our first pilot hotel or resort partners before our broader commercial launch. This is an opportunity to help introduce an innovative product that has the potential to become a standout amenity for luxury hospitality properties. Compensation Solara is an early-stage startup currently seeking its first pilot partners and investment. Because we’re still pre-revenue, my upfront budget is limited. I’m looking for someone who believes in the vision and is interested in a success-based partnership. Compensation may include: • A $5,000 success fee for helping secure a signed Letter of Intent (LOI) from a qualified hotel, resort, or hospitality group, payable after Solara closes its initial investment round. • Additional success-based compensation for introducing an investor who ultimately invests in Solara. The structure can be discussed based on the opportunity and your level of involvement. • If you help secure both pilot partners and investment, I’m open to negotiating a larger compensation package. I’m happy to sign a written agreement before we begin so expectations and compensation are clearly documented and protected for both parties. If you’re someone who already knows the right people in hospitality and enjoys helping innovative startups gain traction, I’d love to hear from you.
