GetGoing is a travel innovation company that revolutionizes customer
segmentation for airlines and creates the cheapest tickets on earth.
We have invented a novel distribution method that helps move unsold
airline seats - up to 20% of the total inventory worth tens of
billions of dollars - to discretionary leisure travelers. GetGoing
customers are expected to pick two destinations instead of one while
being able to select specific itineraries to both destinations at huge
exclusive discounts negotiated by GetGoing directly with airlines.
GetGoing selects one of these two itineraries and tickets it,
revealing it to the customer after processing the payment. Since
destination flexibility is necessary for booking, our sales exclude
business travelers, those visiting friends and relatives (VFR), and
non-flexible leisure customers.

GetGoing has patented inventory distribution technology for air
travel, hotels, packages, and other travel verticals.

GetGoing is funded by Yury Milner, Lightbank (Groupon founders), Y
Combinator, and other prominent investors.  Please visit https://www.getgoing.com/about/ to learn about the team.
