See how Zyppos allows you to hire travel experts for worry-free flights

It helps you find the best flights and lowest fares.

Hong Kong startup Zyppos is a crowdsourcing platform of travel experts which started just last March. It is aimed at removing the stress of looking for flights in conventional search engines. In particualr, it uses its registered experts and travel consultants to help users get amazing savings on all trips and flights.

"Zyppos aims at helping users focus on the joy of travels and encourages everyone to start travelling more,” said founder Guillermo Ginesta.

Born in Chile, raised in Brazil, and long-term Hong Kong resident, Guillermo is 28 and a fervent marketing and growth hacker expert.
He is currently on his 12th year in Hong Kong.

Guillermo believes in the motto that led to building Zyppos, “it’s all about making life a little bit more awesome!”

“The business comes from a real problem. Looking for flights online can be overwhelming and really stressful as there are just so many flight search engines.How do I know I’m using the best one? How can I be sure I am getting the lowest quote? I thought it would be great if everyone could ask an expert; whether a seasoned traveller or an experienced flight hacker,” he said.

Zyppos started using Ginesta's money. As the project grew from just an idea to a viable business proposition they received funding from an Angel Investor to continue development and to launch a Minimum Viable Product. It currently has HKD200,000 funding.

"Zyppos is growing organically and user adoption has been really positive. Travellers are seeing a saving of 30% on average. The idea is to continue to develop new features and add to the user experience.”

They are now considering to take a round of seed/early investment if growth continues at the current rate in order to expand the team and launch a few features earlier.
