Hi everyone, CEO of Trippeo here. We just released our flight booking portal this morning where you can book flights (and track expenses) with Trippeo. We don't re-direct you to a 3rd party booking site - you search and booking directly with Trippeo. We have secured some pretty decent rates for North American flights and I welcome you to give it a try. You'll have to sign in to Trippeo to view the flight portal.

At 2M DAU, there's a lot of upside in building a bot for that audience. We just launched a simple expense management slack bot last week and in the past few days, our engagement has gone up... will post some numbers shortly. https://medium.com/trippeo-blog/introducing-expense-manageme...

I've never heard to lawyers take equity for their services - is this common?

Just FYI - the $60k/year Azure offer is technically available for any startup just willing to ask nicely (not limited to just incubators). My company, http://trippeo.com just qualified for it last month (we get $5k/mo free hosting).

For others interested, Softlayer does too. I like their competitive stack compared to AWS.

They're a great company. Certly took advantage of the offer and their support and services have been excellent.

softlayer is truly awesome. We at RedCarpet have been using them from India and the experience has been awesome. They have features like Global IP, which is pretty close to what AWS Elastic IP does. They also have an API that is pretty well integrated with Chef and Python-Fog.

That's a great tip! How do you ask "nicely"? Is there a rep you contact or contact just general billing/support?

I just emailed a developer evangelist at Microsoft - tons of them around and more than willing to help startups, especially new ones with under $1M in funding.

Is there a list for these? I have seriously had problems trying to redeem any offers from Microsoft / Bizspark. I run a sports science startup and would love to look into this.

Pick a few of these folks and email them directly: https://www.linkedin.com/title/developer-evangelist-at-micro...

Hi, great tip. Just fyi - your website is really hard on GPU. I am on Chrome and after keeping it some time in a tab it started to be so brutal on GPU that I had to shut down as my browser was unusable... Maybe possible memory leak? Only active plugin I have is uBlock.

Hmm thanks for that. Are you by any chance on a chromebook using Chrome? We noticed this issue with chromebooks... but for Macs and Windows using chrome, it seems to be fine (at least from our tests). Can you shoot me an email at adarsh[at]trippeo?

It's Chrome. Kill the gpu-process Chrome process. Chrome has been freezing on me the past couple of weeks.

I can browse the site with a cucumber (no dedicated gpu) with firefox and I had no problems.

This site has given us more signups than Product Hunt + Venture Beat combined - and this is only in the past few hours. Total traffic so far - 12k.

"In Green Bank, you can’t make a call on your cell phone, and you can’t text on it, either. Wireless internet is outlawed, as is Bluetooth. It’s a premodern place by design, devoid of the gadgets and technologies that define life today. And thanks to Uncle Sam, it will stay that way: The town is part of a federally mandated zone where a government high-tech facility’s needs come first. Wireless signals are verboten."

I remember watching an interview a while back (or I think it was a Quora thread), but he claims most startup videos fall in the $50-$75k range.

Thanks Ryan - appreciate it.
