Levee
Levee intends to revolutionize hotel operations by solving a
critical issue: inconsistent and incomplete data capture from deskless workers
like housekeepers and maintenance staff. The platform uses computer vision Al
and natural language processing to automate data collection, providing hotels
with accurate, real-time insights that help optimize workflows, reduce
inefficiencies and enhance guest experiences. By adapting to the way these
workers naturally operate, Levee aims to capture higher-quality data than traditional
tools.

Strategic goals for 2025
A major priority for the year will be fostering integrations
and collaborating with key players in the hospitality tech space. We aim to
establish Levee as a comprehensive data platform that can work seamlessly with
both technology vendors and hotels, enhancing data visibility and operational
insights across the industry.
Levee aims to scale its platform across major hotel chains,
focusing on further developing Al-driven features to enhance data accuracy and
operational efficiency. A key goal is expanding partnerships with top-tier
hospitality management groups to integrate our data capture solutions.
Additionally, we aim to refine our predictive Al capabilities to provide hotels
with actionable insights that go beyond operational metrics, contributing
directly to higher guest satisfaction and lower operating costs.
Lessons learned since founding
Building a startup is an exercise
in resilience and adaptability. One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned is the
importance of staying deeply connected to the problem you’re solving, while
being flexible enough to pivot when the solution demands it. Success doesn’t
come from sticking rigidly to the original plan but from continually iterating
and evolving based on real-world feedback.
We’ve also learned that building a
company isn’t just about the product—it’s about the team and the culture. The
best ideas come from diverse perspectives, and a strong, mission-driven team
can push through the inevitable obstacles. Another key takeaway is the power of
relationships—whether with investors, early adopters or partners—these
relationships shape your path forward as much as your own hard work.
