Tripl is a location-based social service that lets users log in with Facebook, recommend notable locals they meet, and see who’s who when planning trips. The product surfaced from beta and focuses on matching travelers with locals based on a few basic characteristics. It relies on user recommendations and a growing user base to improve matches, so there is a network-effect dependency for broader usefulness. The UI is described as smooth and attractive in coverage, and the service targets extroverted travelers and professionals seeking local contacts. The company is run by a very small team with some European programmers, and was founded by David Los and Peter Sullivan in Stockholm. Financially, Tripl has been financed by an early angel round totaling $300,000.
