Roame
Flight search engine for credit card points
We built Roame, a flight search engine that helps travelers find and redeem flights using their credit card points and miles. It automates and simplifies a process that otherwise takes days of manual research and piecing together complex award charts. Our product takes your points balances and travel preferences and returns redemption options in seconds.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to stay based here after YC.
San Francisco has the right mix of talent, access to investors, and proximity to partners in both travel and fintech, which matches where we want to build Roame.
