Rio Vermelho, SalvadorFounders Circle
Be here
at the start.
Tavvi is being built in the open, on real trips, by a very small team. The Founders Circle is for the travellers who want to build it with us. £99, once, and Tavvi Plus is yours for life.
What we're about
Move. Eat. Meet. Then look up.
The best travel has always belonged to the people who wander off the plan. Who follow the smell of something grilling down an alley. Who say yes to the stranger at the next table. Who come home with stories instead of photos of their phone.
Tavvi exists to give that spirit back. A companion in your ear that knows the street, finds the plate worth crossing town for, and helps you meet the people who make a place. Then gets out of the way.
HanoiWhere we are, honestly
Tavvi is live. It is also unfinished.
You can sign up and take Tavvi on your next trip today. Some of it is polished. Some of it is rough round the edges. All of it is getting better every week, shaped by the people using it on real streets.
A voice in your ear
Guided walks, rides and runs, with stories about the street you're on.
Where the locals eat
Eat & Drink, Tavvi's Picks and how to order, remembered for next time.
Trips without forty tabs
Trip Pro plans the bones: legs, days, routes and notes in one place.
Verified travellers nearby
Travel Buddies, meet-ups and every safety feature, free for everyone.

Why we need you
Every voice on every walk costs something. Founders are how Tavvi keeps going.
No ads, and no selling your data. Tavvi is paid for by the travellers who use it. The Founders Circle is the start of that: money now, when it matters most, to build the next thing properly and to keep a free plan open for the student on the night bus who can't pay yet.
And it's more than money. Founders are the people we listen to first. What you love, what's missing, what went wrong in Lisbon on Tuesday: tell us, and it goes straight to the person building it.

Bia hơi, HanoiA circle, not a club
Travellers. Explorers. The ones who go first.
Every place worth going was once somewhere nobody went. Someone walked down the street first, ate the thing first, sat down with the stranger first, then told everyone else.
That's the Founders Circle. People who travel to feel something, who'd rather get lost than get a bus tour, and who want a travel companion built for them rather than for advertisers. You won't be a user. You'll be one of the people who made it.

Founders Invitation Codes
Been given a code?
We give a small number of invitation codes, personally, to people who help Tavvi grow: early testers, travel writers and creators, and friends who've carried Tavvi round the world with them. A code gives you the same lifetime Tavvi Plus as joining. Create your account, open Tavvi Plus, and enter it under “Have a Founders Invitation Code?”.

Is it really for life?
Yes. One payment, and Tavvi Plus stays switched on for as long as Tavvi exists. No renewals, no surprise bills.
I already pay for Tavvi Plus. What happens?
Join, and your monthly or yearly plan stops renewing, so you're never charged twice. It simply runs to the end of the period you've paid for.
Does it work on my phone?
Tavvi works in your phone's browser today. When the iPhone and Android apps arrive, sign in with the same account and your Founders Circle comes with you.
What if I don't want to pay?
Then don't. Tavvi has a free plan that keeps working, and Travel Buddies and every safety feature are free for everyone, always.
Anything else? Write to support@tavvi.co.uk.
Come and build it with us.
The next street. The next table. The next stranger who becomes a friend. Be one of the people who made Tavvi.
