Hipmunk
Hipmunk is a travel search site, which aims to take the 'agony' out of travel planning, help people book travel faster and more efficiently. It was designed to help people who have been over-flooded with irrelevant search results. It presents flight results with a visual 'timeline', which allows people to select the best flight at one glance. It also provides hotel results on a map, so that people can view the place where they will be staying and know the nearest landmarks.
It was co-founded by Adam Goldstein and Steve Huffman in June 2010. Its investors include Ignition Partners, Y Combinator, SV Angel, Webb Investment Network, Erik Blachford, Simon Breakwell, Rob Glaser, Jim Hornthal, Rich Barton, Paul Buchheit, Ashton Kutcher, Raymond Tonsing, Matt Mullenweg, Sam Altman, Geoff Ralston, Sizhao Yang, Amitt Mahajan, and Gabor Cselle.
According to the company, it has passed 1 million searched and its search traffic is growing by around 15 percent each month. It orders flights by a hodgepodge metric, called 'agony', which includes delays and connections, saving more than 150,000 hours of 'agony' since its launch. The company won the GBTA 2011 Business Traveler Innovation Award--Judge's Choice.
