Business of a travel start-up
Travel is an interesting and fun business to be in. But there’s this additional benefit that makes building a travel service even funnier: it’s almost mandatory for us to test our service and do some leisure traveling on the side. How else to get first-hand feedback regarding the features and data?! 
At the time being, we have guys testing the Alpine hiking trails for sport-oriented profiles. It’ll be interesting to hear whether our filtering engine was able to pick the right places for them and what kind of fine-tuning do we need to do…
Next week we’ll send people to Rome to test out the city vacation planner. After that it’s time to see how our feature set fits with road tripping (test site will be around Trieste / Northern Italy)… And in August maybe some party-profile “business” tripping in Spain…
