TRVL launched its product late last year and uses a crowd-powered model to augment traditional travel sites like Booking.com, Hotels.com and TripAdvisor. Users who make bookings through TRVL earn up to 10% commission, with the actual reservations executed via established booking sites. The company has been focused on product development and growth since launch and announced external funding to accelerate those efforts. TRVL employs 12 people and is led by CEO Jochem Wijnands and COO Arthur Hoffman. The team highlights industry experience—Wijnands previously sold his prior company to Apple, and Hoffman helped build Expedia businesses in several countries. The company is positioning itself to change how consumers book travel while navigating regulatory challenges in the travel industry.
