Revenue Model

Ahavaplan generates revenue through a commission-based model with Ahavapay, our in-app payment service, currently charging 8% on transactions between couples and vendors. This approach supports vendors by boosting visibility and growth, while ensuring a secure, seamless experience for users as they plan and pay for their wedding services.

Startup Journey

Since our launch on July 15, 2023, Ahavaplan has achieved significant milestones in revolutionizing the wedding planning industry. Our MVP received an enthusiastic response, leading to over 350 organic downloads and facilitating the planning of 37 weddings in 2024 and 10 in 2025. Key features like Ahavapay, our in-app payment solution, and AI-powered Planner Matching have streamlined secure transactions and personalized vendor recommendations.

Globally, we’ve partnered with the Dubai Chambers of Commerce, expanding into the Middle East market, and built a database of over 750 North American planners. Our “Forced Activation Strategy” encourages planners to engage with our platform, enhancing marketplace dynamics.

Media features in Citybox Magazine and Canvas Rebel, along with a growing social media community, have boosted our brand visibility. With revenue generation from Ahavapay commissions underway, Ahavaplan is poised for continued growth, delivering an effortless and inclusive wedding planning experience to couples worldwide.

Go-To-Market Plan

Ahavaplan’s go-to-market strategy focuses on organic growth through social media, strategic partnerships with wedding expos, and collaborations with influencer planners. We’ll leverage our “Forced Activation Strategy” to onboard our 750+ planners, while Ahavapay’s secure in-app payments incentivize both planners and couples to engage actively within the platform.

Potential Exit

Potential exits for Ahavaplan include acquisition by major players in the wedding or event planning industries, such as The Knot or Zola, or by fintech companies expanding into niche markets. These acquirers would benefit from our integrated payments system, Ahavapay, and our curated, AI-driven wedding planning marketplace.
