TOP disintermediates the #OTAs by offering #hotels the means to earn #travel commission themselves from their guests’ upcoming trips. Welcome to #TravelScience!
Have we solved the problem with online travel bookings with this product?
How would you book a trip that take you to London, Singapore and Frankfurt, book both flights and hotels in each, and make it in a single transaction with minimum hassle? With the TOP Web App, in cca. 4min
@luzhangvc Very impressive. The coincidence.
Can I ask you for an interview?
Would like to get a better understanding how one moves into VC, this bit from @TechCrunch “Zhang and Yuen are two technical founders that sold their companies and were looking to figure out what to do after that. “

@lenovo_UKI need help. Calling +353 1 6535 568 (customer service in Ireland) and upon selecting 1 to get through to customer support the line drops. New laptop arrived, makes loud noise and not sure I should keep it if getting through to support is a pain on the first week.
@DCMcCourt Took your advice - told people I've been trying to get your signature on my copy of your book for several months now and they said I should try to do something meaningful with my (Twitter) life. Oops, could they be right?
@mytaxi_ie Well probably that's why dynamic pricing exists as a solution to incentivise drivers to go out. If only there'd be a #suggestionbox here on Twitter
@mytaxi_ie sadly twice in a row (yesterday at 5pm and now as I write this) no cars available in Dublin 18 after long waits. Plenty of taxis in the nearby shopping centre, they must be lacking the incentive - are you charging them too much? #taxifail
The city layout of Barcelona in Spain has been an inspiration to me.
#travelscience uses social norms and topological invariants to predict travel choices in a similar manner to urbanism shaping our lives in the city
How does #travelscience predict WHERE and WHEN will people travel?
TWO data sources: sparse geosocial data and a proprietary #knowledgespace TOP developed (600 destinations so far) consisting of topological invariants. Like subway stations in #Barcelona
This is the Morpheus hotel in Macau, China. It was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and it embodies the central concept of #travelscience - the topological invariant that makes the craziest travel predictions and recommendations possible.
Entrepreneurs who dream big, blow up existing models and think beyond the boundaries have a real chance of starting not just a business but a revolution. My book #TotalRethink will guide you through how. #bestseller#entrepreneur#reading
#TravelScience looks like when we predict where someone might stay next (videographers We take the accounts with most trips recorded in our dataset of over 31mn bookings and cluster them together around a destination. https://t.co/aKUk7p6KBu
