Mygola.com helps users discover inspiring trips from curated collections, customize them and book instantly. Co-founded in 2009 by Anshuman Bapna and Prateek Sharma, the company is based in Bangalore, India. The business raised $1.5M in a Series A round led by Helion Venture Partners with participation from existing investor Blumberg Capital. In conjunction with the funding, Ashish Gupta of Helion Venture will join Mygola’s board. The company intends to use the capital to expand its presence in the US market and to open a Silicon Valley office. Mygola is hiring. Mygola pairs automated data aggregation with trained freelance travel guides to research, plan and (optionally) book flights, hotels and reservations for customers. Users submit trip details via a form and receive well-researched, unbiased information—typically within 24 hours. The company offers a pay-as-you-wish model (first question free), per-trip plans starting at $30, and an annual $99 all-you-can-ask plan. Mygola is building a recruiting and training platform to scale its global guide network and says it is recruiting about 80 guides per week. The company plans to use recent funding to recruit and train more guides, continue product development, and create mobile apps. Mygola was founded by Anshuman Bapna in 2009 and currently has 14 employees.
