Podcast Series: We talk to founders of CruiseWatch, Setoo

In the third instalment of our new series, we interview two travel startups who took to the stage and pitched at Phocuswright Battleground: Europe.

We handed our podcast microphone to Kevin O’Shaughnessy who took the series to the Phocuswright Europe Conference (15-16 May) in Amsterdam earlier this month.

Kevin O’Shaughnessy is the co-leader of Dublin Travel Massive and co-founder of ground-transport app CityHook. In a previous career he worked on some of the first messaging apps for mobile devices. He’s also a fantastic radio host, as you’ll find out.

A big thanks to Phocuswright for inviting us to their European Conference so we could record these new episodes. Phocuswright Battleground: The Americas lands in NYC on July 11, and The Phocuswright Conference takes place in Florida on November 18-21.
