Tao Tao – GetYourGuide | Digitalizing Travel Experiences & Founding a Billion Dollar Company
Description
Welcome Tao Tao, co-founder and COO of GetYourGuide, the revolutionary of travel experiences and one of the best people to hang out with if you need top travel advice in any city on this planet.
For the opening of SMACK's fifth #podcast season, Florian had the pleasure of hosting Tao Tao and discussing his founder story, the tough times GetYourGuide had to face during the past couple of years, and what experiences mean to the travel industry today.
They started off by talking about the latest phenomenal funding round of GetYourGuide and moved on to tactics and strategies to build long-term value in the midst of gloomy times. The two went deep into the company's founding history, which was initiated by one miss-booked flight to Beijing, and discussed the benefits of taking the right people on the founding journey. Teamwork apparently really does make the dream work.
Tao and Flo closed off the episode talking about supporting Bayern Munich and Tao's dream tour that they do not offer, at least not yet. Trust us, you’ll want to hear the whole story. Check out our brand-new podcast episode on Spotify, Apple and anywhere else, where there are good podcasts.
