Mindtrip, a San Francisco, CA new travel platform that uses generative AI to help travellers plan and book trips, has raised $7 million in seed funding. The round was led by Costanoa Ventures, with participation from other investors including Y Combinator, Kindred Ventures, and BoxGroup.
Mindtrip was founded in 2023 by Andy Moss and Trey Matteson, who met while working at Google. The company's mission is to make travel planning as easy and enjoyable as possible. Mindtrip's platform uses generative AI to understand users' travel goals and preferences. This allows the platform to generate personalized recommendations for destinations, flights, hotels, restaurants, and activities.
Users can also ask Mindtrip any travel-related questions in natural language. For example, they could ask "What are the best places to visit in Rome?" or "What are the cheapest flights from New York to London?" Mindtrip's platform is still in development, but it is expected to enter public beta before the end of 2023.
