A private travel agent for founders

Send a Slack message.
Get on a plane.

A human books to your loyalty numbers, on your seats, at the lowest published fare. Vendor cost is fronted, currency converts at interbank rates, and the card never moves until the trip is locked and approved.

how it works

Three steps. One human. Nothing to learn.

Slack is the only interface. Loyalty, currency, and judgment are handled in the background.

01

Profile, once

Eight minutes. Airlines, hotels, seat preference, loyalty numbers, dietary, approver thresholds. Asked once. Held privately. Never sold.

one-time · 8 minutes
02

Send a Slack message

"NYC, Wednesday back Friday, demo Thursday morning." Your agent reads it, checks your calendar, surfaces three options. Same fare as Expedia or lower, every time.

per trip · 90 seconds
03

Approve. Then pay.

Vendor cost is fronted. The trip locks. You approve in Slack. A Razorpay link arrives. You pay only after every detail is confirmed — not before.

Frankfurt → SF next Wed back Friday. Acme demo Thursday AM, two investor sit-downs Friday. Budget €5k. Need decent Wi-Fi on the long-haul — last LH 458 was patchy.

Got it. FRA → SFO Wed Jun 3 – Fri Jun 5. Cross-checked your calendar — Acme demo is on at 9:30 AM PT, your Friday investor sits at 2 PM PT.

Priya's working it now. Three options posted within 90 minutes. Track at trvl.so/?u=lukas.

Three options ready. My pick — outbound LH 458 FRA-SFO upper deck 2A (your usual), return AF 84 SFO-CDG + onward AF 1018 CDG-BER. This earns your UA 1K on the way out and Delta Diamond on the way back. Hotel JW Marriott Union Square, Ambassador suite confirmed, gym verified.

€4,680 total — €45 below the Booking.com fare for the same itinerary. Auto-approved (under your €5k ceiling). Razorpay link will arrive once you confirm.

why founders pick us

The four things MakeMyTrip and Expedia will never do for you.

Each of these compounds over a year of travel. Read them carefully.

01

Every flight earns to your account, not theirs.

OTAs route to the highest-commission carrier. We route to your loyalty number — across alliances. One round trip can credit your United, Delta, and Marriott accounts simultaneously. Over 24 months the average founder earns roughly $8,000 in loyalty currency we recovered that an OTA would not have credited.

multi-alliance optimization · per trip
02

Same fare as Booking. Or we send the screenshot.

The price you see is the lowest published fare on that route, for that date. If the same itinerary is cheaper on Booking, Expedia, or your direct airline portal, we match it and send the screenshot. No markup. No commission baked in. No bundle tricks.

fare match · transparent · auditable
03

Pay after. Not before.

Your card never moves until the trip is locked, the seat is held, and the hotel is confirmed. We front the vendor cost ourselves. You owe us only after every detail is reviewed and approved in Slack. No card on file. No autopay. No surprise charges.

deferred payment · trust loop · Razorpay
04

Currency converts at interbank, not at 4%.

USD vendor cost is paid from our INR account at the day's interbank rate. Your credit card would have added a 3–4% foreign transaction fee plus a 1–2% Visa/Mastercard markup. On a $2,500 trip, that's $100–150 you don't lose to FX.
