Founder Story
During a period of my life, I found myself frequently traveling by train. These were not leisurely adventures, but rather numerous work-related trips and commutes, sometimes several times a week. On one of these days, as I sat, gazing out the window, watching the blurred landscapes rush by, I realized that the joy of travel had worn thin. And there were still five hours left until my arrival in Munich.
Glancing across the aisle, I noticed a group of people in suits, engaged in lively discussion. I wondered, could they be potential business partners or valuable connections for my project? But how could I know? Approaching them directly seemed awkward.
I spent the rest of the day exploring the market for an app that wasn't merely a travel app, nor a dating platform like Tinder or Badoo, and not a social network like Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn. I was looking for a service designed for travelers to connect on the move. And I found nothing.
When I shared the idea with friends, each of them expressed a desire for such a product. It resonated with them, just as it had with me. Our journey took us to Frankfurt, to the headquarters of Deutsche Bahn. We signed a contract, and thus, the story of Raily began.
Raily is more than an app; it's a realization of a shared need, a bridge between travelers, a platform that turns mundane journeys into opportunities, friendships, and collaborations. It's a new way to travel, connect, and thrive. And it all started with a simple observation on a train ride. That's the essence of Raily, a product born from real experiences, designed for real connections. Join us and discover what Raily can bring to your journeys.

What our customers think about us
Raily stands as a fusion of psychology, emotions, and technology in the realm of travelers' relationships.
In the digital age, new opportunities arise for understanding and strengthening interpersonal relationships, especially for travelers who often face loneliness in new places. Raily aims to infuse these principles by combining scientific ins ights and innovative technology to make travel more vibrant and socially enriched.
Understanding Influence and Persuasion
Based on Robert Cialdini's work "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion," Raily employs principles of reciprocity and social proof. Users are offered rewards and incentives, fostering active engagement and community participation. Raily applies AI-driven recommendations and gifts to create a system of reciprocity.
Intuition and Analytical Thinking
Drawing on Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow," Raily offers an intuitive interface with deep analytics on profiles and compatibility. Simple and intuitive design merges with detailed profiles and analytics.
Biology and Chemistry of Love
Inspired by Helen Fisher's book "Why We Love," the service integrates methods to determine chemical compatibility between users through AI matchmaking, Deep Social Matchmaking, and Visual Matchmaking. This approach transcends superficial interests to find deep emotional connections.
Irrationality and Choice
Dan Ariely's "Predictably Irrational" inspired mechanisms of choice that account for irrational aspects of decision-making, providing users with various options and opportunities.
Attachment and Interaction
"Attached" by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller laid the foundation for mechanisms to determine attachment styles. Raily uses Music Taste Matchmaking to connect users based on emotional attachment styles.
Community and Motivation
Gleaning inspiration from Elliot Aronson's "The Social Animal" and Daniel Pink's "Drive," Raily aspires to create an active community with features such as interest groups and route and city chats, fostering easy communication immersion.
