Ultraeum

Bridging All Trail User Stakeholders

Contact

The Idea origin story

Our startup, Ultraeum, has developed the Trail Tribe app which facilitates communication and coordination among diverse trail communities. It streamlines event planning, carpooling, and resource sharing, while promoting inter-club collaboration. Trail Tribe not only enhances trail safety and accessibility but also nurtures trust and partnership through profile and reputation scoring. Unlike competitors, we offer a unified platform to improve the trail experience for all users.

The Mission

Ultraeum's mission is empowering grassroots trail communities, preserving uniqueness. We envision authentic and collaborative trail communities, free from bland homoginization.

Clients

Our customers are grassroots trail users, local club leaders, vendors, and trail managers seeking a platform to connect, collaborate, and preserve the unique culture of trails and their communities.

Problems we solve

Client’s problem

Trail Tribe solves the disconnection among trail users, club leaders, vendors, and managers by providing a platform for collaboration, communication, and resource sharing. It preserves local trail culture, enhances coordination for events and carpooling, and supports partnerships, addressing the challenges of corporate homogenization and fostering a vibrant, united trail community.

Confirmation of problem

Trail users can’t connect to new people for carpooling or group outings because there’s no way to build trust or ensure safety, leaving them vulnerable and limiting access to shared trail experiences.

Solution

Our app enables trail users to connect, coordinate, and collaborate with trust and safety tools, fostering community, enhancing access, and providing a unique platform tailored to trail culture.

Our technologies

This solution is based on technologies

Mobile application technology, cloud computing, GPS tracking, real-time data sharing and analytics are pivotal for our startup.

How it works

Trail Tribe links trail users through a platform, enabling safe carpooling, event planning and trust-building for vibrant communal experiences.

Value for the client

Our platform offers vendors and trail managers a gate to engage with trusted communities, forging fruitful partnerships that foster trail culture.

Competitors

Competitors

Competitors include AllTrails for trail mapping, Meetup for organizing outdoor events, and Strava for fitness tracking. Platforms like Facebook Groups and Discord also host trail communities but lack specialized tools for carpooling, trust-building, and collaboration tailored to trail users, club leaders, and other stakeholders in the trail ecosystem.

Our Advantages

Trail Tribe stands out by combining trust-building tools, carpooling coordination, and safety features tailored for trail users. Unlike competitors, it fosters vibrant local communities, connects stakeholders like vendors and managers, and supports collaboration across diverse trail groups, preserving trail culture while addressing gaps left by mapping, fitness, or general social platforms.

Business model

We earn through premium subscriptions, event fees, vendor partnerships, and transaction fees, offering tools and services that enhance trail community connection, collaboration, and engagement.

Traction

In the last 6 months, Ultraeum has validated key problems by engaging race directors, vendors, thought leaders, and trail users, gaining insights into their challenges and desired solutions. We’ve deepened customer engagement to rigorously test and refine proposed solutions, ensuring they align with the needs of the trail running ecosystem for meaningful impact.

Metrics

As an early-stage startup, Ultraeum is focused on problem validation and solution testing. Our upcoming metrics will measure user acquisition costs, engagement like activity levels and retention, as well as satisfaction through NPS. This data aids us in refining our app to meet community needs.
