Trippie provides a mobile application focused on improving the traveler experience within airports. The company was established in 2014 by Ryan Diew. The inspiration for Trippie came from Diew's personal experiences as a frequently traveling Division I basketball player at Colgate University. Frustrated by the difficulties of navigating unfamiliar airports, particularly when trying to find food during layovers without wanting to leave his luggage unattended, he decided to develop a solution. As a computer science major, Diew coded the initial version of the app himself. He secured early funding of $32,000 after winning a 'Shark Tank'-like competition at his university.
The core of Trippie's offering is an airport navigation app that provides users with interactive maps of airport terminals. These maps highlight the locations of restaurants, shops, and other services. Key features include detailed flight information, terminal maps, and, at certain airports, the ability to order food for delivery directly to the user's gate. The service is designed for air travelers, from frequent flyers to those on a layover, who are looking to more efficiently navigate the airport environment. The app, which is free to download and use, aims to reduce the stress of travel by centralizing essential airport information.
Trippie appeared on Season 9 of 'Shark Tank', where Diew pitched for $100,000 in exchange for 10% equity but did not secure a deal. Despite this, the company experienced growth following the show's airing. By 2023, the company reported having achieved $3 million in lifetime revenue. The app has expanded its coverage from an initial handful of U.S. airports to over 120 airports worldwide. Alongside his role as CEO of Trippie, Ryan Diew also works as a Partner and Entrepreneur in Residence at Base Ventures, a seed-stage venture fund.
