CheKin

Governments made guest registration mandatory; CheKin turned that paperwork into a 45-country compliance business.
Will it work? · our read
Mandated demand. Demand is guaranteed by law, so everyone chases it. CheKin's edge is 45-country legal coverage built one mandate at a time, not the check-in tech.

Revenue is EST: the $6.8M/2024 figure is Latka's third-party estimate, not founder-disclosed, and Latka is known for errors, so not independently confirmed. First-party and solid: 200k+ properties, 25M+ check-ins, 45+ countries (chekin.com); $2.5M Series A led by Faraday VP (Nov 2024, total about $3.6M raised); Airbnb partnership (shorttermrentalz). The regulation is real and central: Spain's RD 933/2021 (SES.HOSPEDAJES), enforced Dec 2, 2024, forces hosts to report guests to the Interior Ministry, with parallel mandates in Italy (Alloggiati Web) and Portugal (SEF/AIMA). The 'compliance-as-wedge' framing is our read; the commission-module model is reported. We never score you.
