Built by people who lived it.

Why we’re here.

Before TVLDays was a product, it was the same Wednesday-night phone call, on a hundred different tours.

Somewhere in entertainment travel right now, an agent is staring at row 47 of a spreadsheet trying to remember which version is the current one. A hotel sales rep is digging through email to find a rooming list that landed in promotions. A tour manager is at a gate, on a phone, watching a flight delay ripple through a day that was already tight. None of them are doing the actual job. They’re fighting the tools.

We were all of those people. We held blocks at midnight, sent the apology email to the artist’s manager, called the hotel rep’s personal cell because the front desk wouldn’t put us through. We rebuilt rooming lists at the gate. We learned the hotel PMS portals so we could fix what the agents couldn’t see.

Every time we asked “why doesn’t the software just…” the answer was the same: because nobody built it for this. The CRMs were for sales. The PMS was for hotels. The spreadsheet was for everything in between, and the spreadsheet didn’t know what a rooming list was.

So we’re building it. A workspace that knows what entertainment travel actually is, where both sides of the call work in the same system, where the rooming list updates itself, where the flight that just changed gates tells everyone who needs to know. Built for the late-night calls, by the people who lived through them.

Four things, not negotiable.

• Both sides of the call deserve the same workspace. Agents and hotel partners shouldn’t be on different software, on different time zones, talking past each other through email. One screen. One source of truth.
• Specialty work needs specialty tools. Entertainment travel isn’t corporate travel and it isn’t leisure. The shape of the work is different — rolling manifests, last-minute pairings, group blocks that move with the schedule. Generic CRMs and PMSes were never going to fit.
• Real-time isn’t optional anymore. When a flight delays, the ground transfer needs to know. When a room changes, the manifest needs to know. When the artist drops a date, everyone downstream needs to know — before they find out from the venue.
• The road and the desk should run on the same data. What the tour manager sees on a phone at 11pm should be the same thing the agency sees on a desktop at 9am. Different views of the same truth, not different copies of the same Excel file.

Where we are, where we’re going.

We’re writing TVLDays in the open. The waitlist gets emails when we ship something worth knowing about — not weekly updates, not engagement-bait, just the actual progress. Here’s the rough shape:

1. Foundation · In place today

   SOC 2, SSO, enterprise-ready from day one

   SOC 2 audited. SAML/OIDC SSO, MFA, RBAC, and audit logs available now. Built so the largest agencies and hotel groups can onboard without a procurement detour.

2. Now · Q2 2026

   Marketing site, waitlist, founding-team pilot tours

   The site you’re on. Open waitlist. A handful of agencies running early-access pilots against the actual product, finding what we missed.

3. Q3 2026

   First-100 early access opens

   Working product in agencies’ hands — rooming lists, manifests, live quoting, two-sided sync, analytics, flight tracking. Hotel-partner side ships in lockstep.

4. Oct 2026 · Beta opens

   Public beta · agencies, agents, hotels, tours

   The doors open. Pricing announced. Self-serve onboarding for agencies and hotel-partner organizations.

5. 2027

   Deeper integrations & new surfaces

   Native hotel PMS integrations. Ground transport and ticketing in the same workspace. Mobile apps for tour staff. The platform widens to cover more of the day.

Made in Nashville.

TVLDays is built in Nashville, Tennessee — about a fifteen-minute drive from one of the most active touring corridors in the country. Half our calendar is rooms in this city. The artists, agencies, and hotel partners we work with are mostly people we can meet for coffee.

We chose to base here because the work happens here. Not in San Francisco. Not in New York. Where the tour buses load out at 1am and the hotel sales reps know every venue’s capacity by heart.

Built by some of the industry’s leading agents and teams.

A founding team of agents, hotel partners, and tour managers with collective decades in entertainment travel — people who’ve held the room blocks, sent the apology emails, and rebuilt rooming lists at the gate. Working alongside engineers and designers from across vertical SaaS. We’ll publish names, photos, and bios at beta open.

If you’d like to work on this with us: we’re hiring engineers, designers, and a customer-success lead who’s spent time on either side of the entertainment-travel call. Email hello@tvldays.com with the line that explains why this matters to you, and we’ll get back fast.

If you’d like to invest: we’re selectively raising and prefer partners who’ve operated in entertainment, travel, or vertical SaaS. hello@tvldays.com — same address, same fast reply.
