Mapo Tapo is an Italian traveltech platform, founded at the end of 2020, that enables outdoor sports enthusiasts to book trips with certified local guides and find companions to share experiences. Its catalogue spans over 100 experiences worldwide, from climbing across Europe to hiking, mountaineering, high‑altitude expeditions, snowshoeing, and freeride skiing. The company places certified local guides at the core of its value proposition and continues to expand its offering. Mapo Tapo plans to use new capital to accelerate user growth on its platform and further develop the technology supporting locally certified sports guides. The startup has received strategic support from traveltech stakeholders and public bodies, which have helped validate its business model and refine internal processes.
