StayNow is a platform focused on supporting independent and family-run hotel owners. The company was founded by Saawan Patel, Siddharth Raj, and Romal Jayswal and was inspired by Patel’s experience growing up around motels run by his family. StayNow’s product aims to ease operational challenges for independent hotels without excessive fees or restrictive terms. The platform is being built on a scalable technology stack through partnerships with UXReactor and Fountane to accommodate long-term growth. The company plans to use the new funding to continue refining the platform and to expand marketing, including influencer collaborations, paid advertising, and direct in-hotel marketing to engage owners and travelers. StayNow’s mission is to help independent hotels remain competitive amid pressure from larger brands and rising operating costs.
