The AI Travel Company: Building the next generation of trip booking and planning After returning from a solo trip through Europe, Founder Connor Wilson had the realization that life was more rewarding in person. He had enough of “social” media truly meant to manufacture FOMO to keep people online and sell them ads. Frustrated by the lack of tech designed to bring people together to discover and share memorable moments in the real world, Connor teamed up with co-founders Yu-Wei and Avinash to realize the belief that technology should enable real-life experiences, not impersonate them. ‍ Since launching in 2022, that ambition has centered on travel, building the platform for global travel experiences. Built for today’s tech, the heart of it all has always been this: helping people live happier lives through shared experiences. It’s why we design tools that make it easy to discover, plan, book, and share trips. The most meaningful moments don’t happen in apps; they happen with the people you share them with in the real world. Everything you need to make trips happen: We know OTAs like Expedia have made planning trips a mostly chaotic experience, but it doesn’t have to be. Our product ethos of building a hub for you and your group’s travel experience is rooted in three principles: collaboration, centralization, and simplicity. Built for large groups and solo dreamers alike, Pilot combines beautiful design with powerful functionality, helping you book, plan, and share trips in one seamless space. Whether it’s your first backpacking trip or your fiftieth team offsite, from daydreaming to departure, Pilot supports you (and 50,000+ others) every step (and stopover) of the way.

Iterative Health is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence-based precision medicine in gastroenterology (GI), with the aim of helping to optimize clinical trials investigating treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We use advanced machine learning and computer vision to interpret endoscopic images along with other types of data, helping clinicians to better assess patients with potential GI problems. This gives practitioners enhanced capabilities in the detection, annotation, disease scoring and treatment of GI related diseases. Iterative Health is initially applying these advances towards standardizing disease severity characterization for inflammatory bowel disease. Ultimately, the company aims to establish more meaningful endpoints to serve as better predictors of both therapeutic response and disease outcomes.
