Jens Mannanal

  • Founder of bluerails (jens@bluerails.com); previously worked at GetYourGuide.
  • Prior venture: cross-border crypto payments/licensing (Canada license; dropped Dubai license pursuit amid geopolitical concerns; cofounder departed). Kept residual payment clients running.
  • Now building agent-discoverability tooling for websites — launched on Product Hunt ~2026-06-22, Product of the Day.
  • Self-described “surface-level” person; defers technical depth to his CTO, Mike.
  • Cares about: simple ROI-obvious products, marketplaces with unfair intermediary fees (GetYourGuide’s 40% is his go-to example), travel vertical.
