i/o Ventures backed Skyara launches today as a marketplace for exciting things to do. Founded by Jonathan Wu, Dennis Liu and Steven Ou, the site provides people who can offer new experiences like a culinary tour, personalized yoga or a beer tasting with a platform to do so, hooking them up AirBnB-style with people who seek new experiences like foodies or yoga fanatics.

Key Skyara features include packaging, scheduling, booking and payments services and well as a Digg-like voting features and Skyara Requests, i.e. if a specific experience isn&'t available on Skyara, consumers can request it and see if any vendor can customize their offerings.

The founders say that they&'re trying to create a new experience market similar to how Etsy created a new market for DIY craft fans, targeting people who ask, �a4���AWhat is there to do�a4���� during the weekends The site currently has between 50-100 experiences available in the Bay Area and plans to monetize by charging experience vendors a 12% transaction fee.

Future plans include expansion into other markets like New York and Hawaii. Says Wu, &''Our goal is to get all of the screen tanned entrepreneurs and business folks out of the house and trying exciting new things. We want Skyara experiences to become a part of everyone�a4���a4�s weekend schedule.&''

Skyara is also offering a $5 off promotional code to the first 100 TechCrunch readers to sign up with the referral code TECHCRUNCH. And for those interested, AirBnb co-founder Nathan Blecharczyka4s��has offered lunch as a Skyara experience (starting at $10)a4s��in solidarity.
