Travel Management Meets AI

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that replaces traditional corporate travel agents by integrating AI-driven route optimization and an easy booking experience. Employees can book complex travel via chat-like commands, and the system automatically finds smarter, cheaper options while ensuring company travel policies are met. Essentially, it's a pocket travel agent inside your workflow, designed for complex, high-volume corporate travel.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is the center of corporate travel management and home to many of our early customers. Being local lets us build direct relationships and understand large enterprise travel pain points firsthand.
