Pre-seed · 2026

The product layer between an LLM plan and a memory you'll keep.

Kiuro is a mobile-first planning app that turns any draft idea into a working day-by-day. It turns the day's photos into finished posts, and an entire trip into an archive that holds up over time.

The opportunity

A market moving fast, underserved at the top.

Outbound travel from aspiring-affluent South Asia is up roughly 4× since 2019. The toolset they use today (ChatGPT, Wanderlog, Google Maps, Notion, Instagram) was built for someone else. Kiuro is built for them.

Why now

The problem, and our angle.

Today’s traveller stitches a trip across five tools and then posts nothing for two months, because phone-based photo editing is painful. Kiuro replaces the five tools with one mobile surface, and shrinks photo-to-post from an hour to ninety seconds.

What they live with today

  • ChatGPT plans live in a chat thread that can’t be edited
  • Wanderlog is utility-coded and looks like a project tracker
  • Google Maps lists are unreadable a week after the trip
  • Posting takes hours of editing in Lightroom + Snapseed
  • Memories die in 50,000-photo camera rolls

What Kiuro does about it

  • Paste any plan. Working trip in 60 seconds.
  • Day-by-day surface that looks like Hinge, not Asana.
  • Five caption voices · a sixth one trained on your IG.
  • One-tap export to IG / Threads / Apple Photos.
  • An archive that’s still readable in 10 years.
