Tripsider is a platform that pairs trip groups based on values using an algorithm. Tripsider.com offers a carefree, relaxed approach to small group travel that is more akin to seeing the world with longtime friends. The typical Tripsider user does not have time to schedule their trips or look for travel partners. Thus, by utilizing their platform, tourists may reserve a pre-planned multi-day trip in advance, on dates that work for them, with other travelers who share their interests, and on topics that interest them.

The company uses a spiral dynamic model to match like-minded individuals, giving tourists a better experience and tour operators a greater return rate. When asked about the goal of the company, Co-Founder and CEO Olga Bortnikova said, ā€œOur goal is to make adventure experiences accessible to everyone as well as to support local guides and companies. We support local businesses and promote responsible tourism by developing a travel culture.ā€

Less restrictive itineraries offered by the company allow for fun-filled, impromptu opportunities to enjoy the best that each destination along the route has to offer.

Tripsider's vision is to establish a platform that empowers local tour operators and guides to embrace adventure and set and surpass lofty objectives. In order to do this, the firm provides adventurous travelers with a cutting-edge tool that allows them to pick their experiences and arrive at their destinations via friendships, community, and a ton of serendipity.

Helping People Embark on a Transformative Adventure

The company's founders, Olga & Ivan, have visited more than 35 countries and are avid travelers. Passionate about exploration, they would create complex itineraries to fully immerse themselves in new places. However, one day, things became worse. All of the traveler's worst nightmares wereĀ awaiting them in one place: airline delays, unsatisfactory tour guides, exorbitant fees from local "experts," and a sense that their ideal vacation was in jeopardy.

When the founders were back at the hotel, this horrible incident served as the backdrop for their vow to never go through anything like this again. In order to discover a solution to their problems, they looked for one, but it was non-existent.

Adventure and travel go beyond simply visiting new places. Tripsider believes that meaningful experiences come from deep connections. With much effort and keeping this in mind, Olga and Ivan created a custom, tech-enabled service that connects tourists with local experts, adventures, and experiences all around the world. all the while providing engaging tours designed by independent guides and locals.

It all began with a two-person team. Tripsider now employs over 50 people who share their clients' enthusiasm for travel. They strive to create unforgettable experiences for every traveler.

Ultimately, according to CEO Olga, Tripsider was created to inspire people to visit adventure-filled locations with new friends.
