Beepry Sources Affordable Flights Through Algorithms

Salvatore Ambrosino, CEO at Beepry and part of the Travel Massive Milan chapter, helps travellers to find flight solutions at a lower cost and with simplicity.

Beepry is a flight meta search specialized in complex itineraries (multi-leg). We found it interesting and asked Salvatore to answers some questions about how their team built Beepry up from the ground.

What inspired you to create this startup?

I have always been a travel addict, but have you ever tried to find a multi-city flight for a journey of a month? It’s hellish research, everything cost me sleepless nights and a large outlay of money. One day I decided to automate all my knowledge about the flight market and offer other travelers the opportunity to travel around the world easier and more affordably.

How did you build your startup?

One day I had the chance to meet two travel addicts like me, Guglielmo Seminara (Beepry CTO) and Marco Aiello (Beepry  UI / UX Designer). We knew that it was possible to travel people at very low cost price, if only they knew how to search for it. Thus Beepry was born and we turned our idea into a reality.

How is your startup disrupting the travel scene today?

Beepry is not a flight search comparer like everyone else. With our platform you can look over normal flights between two cities (or more). Thanks to our proprietary algorithm, we are able to make flexible research both temporal and geographical. I doesn’t matter is you know the destination or the journey time, simply enter your departure city and our search engine will return to the user the best travel destinations in the best time, at the lowest prices.

How did you get your startup off the ground and gaining traction?

Beepry is a very young startup, but has already received several important international awards, including the prestigious grant of TIM #WCAP and the second position at the Travel Business Award in London. This led to a strong media interest in our project, from CNN to ABC.

Do you have any tips for new entrepreneurs who want to create a successful startup?

Build a startup in an industry that you already have experience in and have a great network.

As a startup, what benefits have you seen from being a part of Travel Massive meetups?

Being part of Travel Massive provides us the possibility to increase our professional network and establish new working relationships. As a startup, we thoroughly enjoy attending events and one of our favorites being the ‘Investor Day’ organized by Travel Massive Milan in April 2016.
