Cosa fa Rocketrip

Rocketrip cuts a company’s travel costs by incentivizing employees to spend less on their trips. When employees get to keep a portion of the savings they generate, they start to treat the company’s money like it’s their own. Rocketrip’s software combines real-time travel prices, company policy, and a suite of patented algorithms to set customized budgets and predict what a trip should cost. Business travelers beat their budgets by making cost-conscious choices like booking in advance, selecting a cheaper hotel, or staying with friends. The company saves money, and the employee earns actual rewards. Rocketrip provides comprehensive reporting and seamlessly integrates into any existing corporate and expense technology stack.

Incentivizing companies' employees to reduce travel costs

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

We built a platform that combines live travel prices, company policies, and algorithms to set personalized trip budgets. When employees pick cheaper travel options, they keep part of the savings as rewards. This aligns their incentives with the company's to reduce travel expenses.

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

We live in New York, NY and Rocketrip is based here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where we and our early customers are, and the city has a large concentration of companies with sizable travel programs, making it easier to develop and test the product.
