We are building a premium equestrian media company focused on long-form, high-quality conversations about performance, horse welfare, psychology, and the business realities of modern equestrian sport. The equestrian industry is performance-driven and highly traditional, yet many of the most important topics shaping daily practice ; such as decision-making, responsibility, pressure, and long-term horse welfare, are often discussed superficially or not at all. Existing content tends to prioritize results, entertainment, or extremes, leaving little space for nuanced and experience-based dialogue. Our platform addresses this gap by producing well-moderated conversations with riders, professionals, and industry participants who have direct experience with the sport. The focus is on practical insight, reflection, and real-world decision-making rather than opinions or simplified narratives. By raising the quality and depth of equestrian media, we aim to support better understanding, more informed choices, and a more sustainable culture within the sport , for both horses and the people working with them.

maiaa is a curated marketplace for design-led meeting and event spaces, helping companies and teams find venues with character for meaningful, in-person gatherings. We combine carefully selected spaces with a thoughtful booking flow to replace generic, transactional venue sourcing with a more human, design-driven experience. The problem we’re solving: Finding inspiring spaces for meetings and small events is still fragmented and inefficient. Companies often rely on a mix of spreadsheets, emails, and generic listing platforms that prioritize volume over quality. The result is wasted time, inconsistent experiences, and venues that don’t reflect the purpose or culture of the gathering. This affects: • companies that value design, brand, and experience • venue owners with distinctive spaces who lack the right distribution and tools Despite a clear demand for better spaces, the market remains operationally outdated and aesthetically undifferentiated. How we solve it: maiaa brings structure, curation, and clarity to the process. We: • curate a limited selection of character-rich venues rather than listing everything • focus on storytelling, aesthetics, and context — not just capacity and price • provide a request-based booking flow that respects how venues actually operate • integrate experiences and add-ons to make gatherings more intentional and complete The platform is being built to balance design sensibility, operational realism, and scalable technology — with a strong focus on usability for both guests and hosts. Why we started: maiaa grew out of firsthand experience. As a founder, operator, and boutique hospitality owner, I’ve spent years working with spaces, guests, and teams — and repeatedly experienced how broken and uninspiring venue sourcing can be, especially for gatherings that actually matter. The motivation behind maiaa is simple: to create a better alternative for people who care about where they meet, how they gather, and the experience they create together. This is not about building another marketplace — it’s about raising the standard for how physical spaces are discovered and used.
