Company Summary

Trip.center is the most flexible travel planning tool for individuals and corporations.

The product allows creating an itinerary, storing reservations, visualising the big picture of the trip, planning and discussing with co-travelers, managing budget and taking it all with you on a mobile device in offline mode. Advanced functionality for companies such as expense validation, planning roles etc is under current development.

The business is globally scalable and has several recurring monetization channels. Version for individuals is free and monetized via affiliation with booking services such as Booking.com (for hotel bookings) and Rentalcars.com (for car rental services). In addition to that we are able to provide highly targeted deals to travellers as we know exactly where each user is planning to go. Version for businesses and travel agents is under current development and will have several subscription plans.

The version for individuals is online at http://trip.center. We have conducted several marketing tests to be able to identify demand for the product as well as to adjust marketing campaign parameters to increase effectiveness of promotion.

We are a team of 3 entrepreneurs having diverse background making us a strong team in various fields. Jointly we have experience with internet startup companies and successful exits, development and user experience, marketing, corporate and financial management.

Trip.center received a pre-seed loan of 50 000 EUR and is currently seeking for a strategic partner for the next round investment of 200 000 EUR. Further information on investment proposal can be found here: http://trip.center/invest

The funds will be used for full scale promotion of version for individuals, as well as for development of business version and its full scale promotion.

We expect exit opportunities for investors to be next round financing or a trade sale to significant player in travel industry or large software development companies seeking to enter travel planning business.
