Travel Hands - Expert Impact

Travel Hands

Met with Josh Turner

Travel Hands is a service designed to ease the outdoor commute of VIP (Visually Impaired People) by pairing them with sighted & verified volunteers to walk together to similar destinations ensuring a safe, convenient, and inexpensive travel experience.

With Travel Hands, a VIP can submit a trip request that is automatically sent to a volunteer near them, alerting the volunteer to their location. The accepting volunteer will then come and pick the VIP up and walk towards the requested destination.

It was great to hear about the experience of a founder developing a social enterprise from the ground. Josh helped me to affirm a few of the marketing ideas, interpret the jobs to be done approach to pitch successfully to different stakeholders and identify the areas to focus on while delivering the business.
