Uappino

Uappino is a consumer technology company headquartered in San Francisco, California, that develops a mobile and web platform for personalized travel planning. Founded in 2018 by former product managers from major travel aggregators, the company positions itself as an AI‑driven recommendation engine that aggregates flight, hotel, and local attraction data into a single itinerary. Uappino’s core product, the Uappino App, synchronizes with users’ calendars and social media to propose optimized travel itineraries based on preferences such as budget, duration, and interests.

The Uappino platform includes features such as dynamic routing, real‑time cost comparison, and integration with payment services for seamless booking. In addition to consumer use, the company provides a subscription API for travel agencies, enabling them to embed Uappino’s recommendation engine into their own websites. The company emphasizes data privacy and states that all user data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with opt‑in consent controls for third‑party data sharing.

Uappino has raised $12 million in seed funding from venture funds including Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz. In 2021 the company announced a partnership with Expedia to pilot the Uappino recommendation engine within Expedia’s booking flows. As of mid‑2024, the Uappino App has over 1 million active downloads worldwide and ranks in the top 10 travel apps on both iOS and Android app stores. The company continues to expand its feature set to include language translation, loyalty program integration, and predictive analytics for trip cost forecasting.
