Lets Discover is a creator-powered discovery and booking platform that automatically converts social media recommendations into an interactive map with direct booking links. The platform reads Instagram posts, pins venues to a creator's map, and pays creators an 80% commission on every booking their followers make. Users can save places by DMing posts to the platform, which identifies the exact venue and adds it to their personalized map.

Problem
Social media is full of trusted creators recommending restaurants and local spots, but that content lives in an algorithm—it appears once, gets buried, and the person who saved it never actually goes. The recommendation exists, the trust exists, but the booking never happens, leaving creators unpaid for the value they generate and followers unable to act on recommendations they've seen.
Solution
Lets Discover closes the gap between seeing a recommendation and making a booking by taking everything a creator has ever recommended and putting it on a single interactive map with a booking button attached to every venue. The platform automatically reads Instagram posts, identifies the exact venue mentioned, and pins it to the creator's map—no manual input required from either the creator or the follower. Users can DM any post to the platform and receive a confirmation message with the saved location, complete with address, hours, and credit to the original creator. For creators, the platform turns their content into a measurable revenue stream, with every booking a follower makes through their map earning an 80% commission paid weekly. The platform provides analytics so creators can finally see exactly how many tables their recommendations are filling, creating a sustainable, measurable relationship between creators, venues, and fans.
Target Audience
Primary users are food and lifestyle creators who post about local places in London or across the UK and want to monetize their recommendations, along with their followers who want to easily find and book the places their trusted creators recommend.
