What Flytenow does
Go flying with local pilots. Thousands of private pilots fly every day with empty seats in their planes. We connect you with them so you can join in their same day, round trip adventures! Whether it be a common destination, lunch at an airport restaurant, or another day trip, Flytenow makes it possible to get off the ground and go on an adventure.

Company

Ride sharing for small planes
We built a platform that connects private pilots who have empty seats on their planes with people who want to fly with them. Users can find same-day, round-trip flights for local adventures, whether it's a common destination or a quick day trip. Our product makes it easy to match pilots and passengers, enabling trips that wouldn't happen otherwise.
We live in San Francisco, CA, with some remote team members. After YC, the company would be based in San Francisco.
San Francisco is a hub for startups, early adopters, and has an active pilot community nearby. Being here helps us recruit, build partnerships, and get feedback quickly.
