Company
Flightfox
Plan, book, and manage complex group travel
We have built a travel management platform tailored for organizations with complicated travel needs. It combines automated tools with human travel experts to plan, book, monitor, and manage global and group travel efficiently for customers like study abroad programs and humanitarian groups.
We live and operate primarily out of Boulder, CO, with a remote team distributed elsewhere. After YC, we plan to keep our base in Boulder while scaling remote operations.
We chose Boulder because of the strong tech and startup community, plus the flexibility of remote work suits our dispersed team and global customer base.
