Connor Wilson has worked in and around travel his whole career, from his first job at a hotel and an early role at a travel unicorn, to bootstrapping a marketing-software company (NiceJob) that served the travel industry to a $30M exit in 2021. He’s been a startup growth leader (his core discipline) for over 12 years: the same instinct took Pilot to a $1.51M run rate on roughly ~$13K of ad spend. He was also VP Growth at a $90mil/yr Fintech.

Yu-Wei Hung leads technical product across web and mobile, spanning end to end from design through shipped code. He built Pilot's LLM-powered data pipelines and the recommendation systems that turn a planned trip into a booking, and led the product work that secured 3.2M merchant-of-record listings and Pilot's technical approval into Google Travel.

Avinash built the initial core platform and runs engineering. He took Pilot from the first prototypes to a live product across web, iOS, and Android, built the hotel booking engine it monetizes through, and owns the data infrastructure and back-end the AI runs on. He has been building software for over 10 years, since his teens, with published IEEE research on transformer-based summarization.
