Mindtrip, Inc.

Our very own Michelle Denogean, CMO contributed this piece on PhocusWire sharing her take on Travel's hourglass problem. ? ?? "Travel planning today has a significant bottleneck problem, best described as a constricted hourglass. At the top, there's an abundance of inspiration – a flood of dreamy destinations, vibrant cultures and picturesque landscapes, all delivered through social media, blogs and meticulously crafted articles. However, this surge of inspiration hits a narrow bottleneck when it comes to the actual planning and booking stages, where most consumers are left to fend for themselves."

Mindtrip, Inc. initially looked like a trip-planning tool, but Andy Moss the CEO doesn’t want to be pigeon-holed into that space. Two things that are clearly terrible ideas: 1. An inexperienced (in the industry) startup taking on the entire travel sector at all stages of the funnel. 2. First picking a technology (Generative AI), and then working out which industry & problem to apply it to. But: 1. Airbnb ($82B) and Uber ($163B) were also both terrible ideas. 2. Gen AI is different. It’s like electricity. You can apply it to so many industries, and you you should be able to leap-frog many incumbents who are unable to move quickly enough. I also agree that it IS all about your personal AI agent in the future. The problem with the agent is that it can use any channel it likes for the transaction - and compare hundreds in a few seconds. I don't know how you develop a brand that everybody's agent will be loyal to. The answer might be tools - but your agent will also be able to make any tools that you might need to manage all of this planning and transactions. Personally, I love this sort of innovation. We need these bold ideas to improve all aspects of the industry. Listen to the podcast from Experience This! Travel (link in comments) Bruce Rosard, Lori Timony, Rudi Thun, Michelle Denogean, CMO

A new travel company is paying travelers up to $10K/month for sharing their trip recommendations with friends. It sounds too good to be true, but it isn't. The company is called Mindtrip and they have a chance to become the dominant verticalized social travel platform. Mindtrip is aiming to be Pinterest + Instagram + Yelp + ChatGPT for travel. Their creator program, which I talk about in this video, is the killer viral loop that will make them a household name. Mindtrip pays referral bonuses + shares affiliate booking fees with creators that drive sign-ups and bookings on their platform. Eventually, all travel influencers will use Mindtrip as the hub for their trip recommendations and monetize passively as more users make it their default source to plan trips. To complete the loop, Mindtrip makes it incredibly easy for creators to take your existing travel notes (even if in a group chat, email, or excel sheet) and quickly turn them into shareable Mindtrip travel itineraries that can be monetized. There are a ton of exciting things happening with this platform. If you want to sign up free as a Mindtrip Creator to start monetizing your own trip recommendations, I've put together a full YouTube tutorial walking through the step by step (takes <2 minutes and you're up and running). You can find that on my YouTube channel (https://lnkd.in/gvJgPpJh) ----------------- Make sure to follow Kane K. for more videos like this (if you like business, tech or entrepreneurship). #ai #travel #traveling #tech #newtech
