iTravel builds a mobile-first iPad application that lets users explore and book customizable, full-packaged vacation tours in an inspirational, open-ended way rather than starting from a fixed destination or date. The app includes Facebook-powered features that identify friends who have visited prospective destinations and invites in-app messaging for advice. The company plans frequent updates to the iPad app, including a forthcoming "Experience" search to surface trips by activities, and aims to expand content and discovery. iTravel was founded in 2004 and currently operates from Germany with additional offices in London and a planned headquarters move to San Francisco to pursue the U.S. market. The startup has 28 employees, serves 30,000 customers, and reports a revenue run-rate of $4 million annually in Germany. Content depth is concentrated in DACH markets (about 1,600 trips across 160 destinations in Germany) while only 185 trips have been made available to U.S. and UK users.
