LOST iN

Berlin, Germany

Overview

LOST iN is a travel-media site built on an existing 10-year-old publisher and focused on disrupting the travel-media business with content from prominent online travel creators. The new owners acquired guidebooks for 25 countries that are distributed in about 50. The company will produce ad-supported digital video and partner with established travel-focused creators to generate additional material. Leadership consists of former Jukin executives Jon and Mike Skogmo and Anton Reut (Jon Skogmo is CEO, Mike Skogmo chief marketing officer, and Reut COO). LOST iN plans to target younger, online-savvy travelers seeking “premium economy” experiences and to diversify revenue through events, memberships and other initiatives alongside direct-to-consumer guidebook sales. Financially, the company has completed a $4 million seed round to support these efforts.
