About this listen

 Why pay $1,000 for a hotel when you can stay with a friend and get paid for it? In this episode of Funded, Now What?!, host Andrew Lee Miller sits down with Stephen Dooley, Founder & CEO of Roamr. Stephen shares how he raised $3M to disrupt the massive corporate travel industry by rewarding employees for staying within their personal networks. We discuss: Customer-Led Fundraising: How Stephen got potential users to lead his $3M round. The Roamr Model: Splitting savings between the company, the traveler, and the host. B2B Growth Hacks: Why a "bottoms-up" approach works better for enterprise travel than selling to the CFO. GEO vs. SEO: Andrew’s tactical advice on optimizing for AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity. The Return of In-Person: Why 2026 is the year business travel makes a major comeback. About Stephen Dooley: Stephen is a researcher-turned-founder who spent years studying the disruption of Uber and Airbnb before launching Roamr to bridge the gap between "work from anywhere" and "work from everywhere."
