Hey Product Hunt ๐Ÿ‘‹! We're excited to (re)introduce Offsite.com - Airbnb for team retreats! We save you time, money, and stress when you're planning team retreats, offsites, and conferences. With more remote-first and hybrid teams than ever, we all need to reconnect IRL with our colleagues, and we make those moments easier to plan. Not only that, but we can save you endless hours of offsite planning and thousands (even tens of thousands) of dollars when you're booking room blocks, meeting space, F&B, and more at hundreds of premier offsite venues globally. What's new with this launch? - More venues in our product - Updated homepage (no account needed to start searching!) - Improved filters (and design!) - Improved profiles (amenities, improved maps, and more features coming like badging and tagging) - Auto-suggested RFPs (we create a bidding war to save you even more money) - Vendor Portal!!! (vendor sign-up flow so we can have more options for you in the marketplace, RFP management, and vendor dashboards) Plus other small improvements that ultimately make offsite planning easier than ever for you. Hundreds of startups like Buffer, 15Five, and Reforge trust Offsite to save 20%+ on their offsite venue search, countless hours of time as we "demystify" the contracting process to help you avoid hidden fees or costly clauses, and plan retreats end-to-end (yes, we can do that for you, too!). Our mission is to make the world a more "connected" place - one offsite at a time. Learn more about Offsite by visiting offsite.com. If you make an account and want to book something in March, let our team know and we will give you $200 towards your first booking as a thank you to the Product Hunt community. Special shout out to Job for "hunting" us today. Cheers, Jared

@jared_kleinert - Congratulations. I was wondering if the resemblance to AirBnB was intentional. Congratulations on the launch and all the best!
Jared Kleinert
@thebigk they have great design ideas! :)

The world meaningfully changed in the last 4 years. We started working in a very different way..mostly for good. But even happily remote working, nothing beats spending time together. Whether that's to work on strategy, or just hang out. Many teams - my own including, quickly figured out that bringing together people from many different countries in one place was a massive undertaking. I know of companies that have small teams just dedicated to organizing offsites. Offsites are a critical piece of making remote work successful, which is why I'm such a big fan (and investor) of Offsite. Having organized dozens of offsites, Offsite makes it much easier to get together with a group of people. Super excited to see their new launch!
Congrats on the launch @jared_kleinert and Team Offsite. ๐Ÿš€ Whether the bosses like it or not, remote working is here to stay for many people. So team retreats are going to be more pervasive. Questions: - Is there a minimum property size to be a host on Offsite? - Any plans to expand outside of the US? :) The listings on Offsite look amazing BTW.
Jared Kleinert
@jgani thanks for the support and questions! We already work internationally, and we look for venues with at least 10 rooms.
@jared_kleinert Ah sorry I missed Europe and Mexico at the bottom. You guys have done a great job acquiring a great collection of properties!
Jared Kleinert
@jgani thanks! share the good word :)

Super excited for the next phase of Offsite. Congrats @jared_kleinert and team! Love that they aren't limited to the US (international Offsites here we go!) and can't beat those amazing venues. Already forwarded this to our Head of People ๐Ÿฅณ
Jared Kleinert
@amitsonawane thanks for the kind words! And we love our People Leaders. Forward away, haha.

You've done an excellent job acquiring a fantastic assortment of properties!
Tem Nugmanov
This looks great!! We tried organizing a retreat a while ago but it proved to be too much work and too expensive at the time. Looks like Offsite (great name too) will basically solve this. Hoping to use it later this year!

@mollywiner thanks Molly

Really cool launch, @jared_kleinert - We used Airbnbs all the time for our retreat. This makes things so much easier!
Cindy Blass

Congrats ! I used to use Breather locally in NYC but it's options aren't great quality. Working directly with hotels can be a pain - this feels like a nice middle ground :) sharing with my team since we're planning a full company offsite in a few months Also as someone who worked on a marketplace for 6+ yrs 0->1, when we FINALLY got to release our vendor portal it was a major major accomplishment to be able to support both personas w product - I know everything else here you list are awesome updates to the customer experience but I wanted to give this a shout out :)
Jared Kleinert
@harrisonjohnson shout out to Breather....RIP
