PairUp.com - New Business Travel Start-up
Pairup is a new company that wants to assist you in connection people when you travel — For now, anyone can use it, but it is targeting people who attend out-of-town conferences. You can pull in your Outlook contacts. Then, if you tell Pairup that you’re headed to say, Chicago, Pairup pulls out the names of people in Chicago you may want to contact. It also lets you share your travel plans with others. Here’s how it works.
PairUp is about empowering the business traveler to reinvent his/her business trip by introducing the concept of connected travel, allowing businesspeople for the first time to easily share travel plans and instantly search for potential business connections at their next trip destination or industry event – across companies and across booking engines.
Esteban Sardera, the CEO and founder of the San Francisco start-up, is a one-man show. He used outsourced development (Russia), graphic designers he’d never met in person and Skype to communicate with these folks. No VC funding. Right now, clearly more of a feature than a company, but Sardera wants to build it into something larger.
