Ciao Wanderfly

I can't believe that wanderfly.com is going offline in one week.

To be clear, Wanderfly is that website we looked at as the best user experience in terms of travelling. 

Why do nice things always have to finish?

Wanderfly acquired by TripAdvisor

I'm excited to say that Wanderfly has been acquired by TripAdvisor!

Wanderfly was my first true foray into the startup world, and it's been quite a ride building the company over the past 3+ years. Like other tech businesses, Wanderfly started as nothing more than an idea, but now it's one the most beautiful and social ways to discover travel on the web. Throughout the process, I've learned everything from fundraising and writing legal docs to hiring talent and running finance and operations. I even had a chance to do my real job - business development and marketing.

One of the most important things I learned at Wanderfly is the value of laying a strong foundation. By that I mean establishing the right culture and processes to help build a sustainable business. It often means investing time in things that don't necessarily have a payoff today (even when there's the temptation to cut corners), and overcoming chaos and uncertainty with a clear - yet nimble - plan of action. I'll be exploring this theme a lot on this blog to help answer a very common marketing question: given a wide range of things that we could do, which ones should we focus on and how?

I'm excited about the Wanderfly's future and wish my co-founders all the best as they take the company to a bigger and brighter future. I'm equally excited to share the knowledge I've gained building the business to help inspire current and future entrepreneurs. There is much to discuss and analyze, and this is only the very beginning.
