In keeping with staying on the level and open about what we’re doing here with Travelstormer, I thought I’d share this email from Colin the other co-founder to myself, on July 28, 2008.
“Inspiration for the idea came from the hassle we are going through trying to organise a skiing trip to Japan for 5-10 people….i.e several emails each day on what dates people are available, what accommodation people want to stay in, what resort to go to, what flights are the best etc etc, all with links attached. I now have a folder of dozens of emails and each time I want to find anything have to search through them to find which one has the link or information I am looking for.”
The powerpoint masterpiece that was attached caught my attention instantly, and soon after we were in a frenzy of ideas about where this idea could lead and how it would find its way in the vast ocean that is online travel.
After finding a direction we wanted to take, Triphub took a dive into the deadpool.
While we were barely wet at this stage, we new exactly how we were going to do it differently.
