Build the next-generation AI travel platform with us
tripbot is a young travel-tech startup from Germany with a clear mission: travel planning should become simpler, more transparent, and more personal. We are developing an AI-native travel platform that helps people find hotels, flights, and complete trips smarter, compare them better, and book with more confidence. No endless tabs, hidden fees, or generic recommendations — but real support, clear decisions, and technology that truly understands travelers. tripbot is currently built as a founder-led project by Nico Neser. Fast, independent, and close to the community. That's why we're not just looking for CVs. We want people who want to think ahead, shape, and help build a new kind of travel platform early on.
Why tripbot?
Travel means freedom. New places, new people, new cultures — and sometimes the realization that your own problems are smaller than they feel in everyday life.
But travel planning today often doesn't feel like freedom. It feels like stress: too many providers, too many tabs, unclear prices, poor recommendations, and platforms that are more about selling than actually helping. tripbot wants to change that.
Made by travellers. Built for travellers.
Values that drive us
“Good decisions need a calm frame and genuine signals.”
- Ownership over micromanagement
- At tripbot, responsibility matters more than titles. Anyone who works with us should bring in their own ideas, make decisions, and have a real impact on the product. We are looking for people who don't just complete tasks, but want to make things better.
- Speed with high standards
- We believe in rapid iteration, honest feedback, and bold experiments. Not everything has to be perfect on the first try — but everything should be created with real intent. Learn better, improve faster, build cleaner.
- Users first
- tripbot is not built for investor presentations, but for real travelers. Every feature, design, and decision should help people travel easier and better.
- Transparency wins trust
- No artificial scarcity. No confusing fees. No recommendations that feel bought. We want to build a travel platform that people can truly trust.
- Remote-friendly and flexible
- Good work doesn't just happen in offices. We believe in focused work, clear communication, and flexible collaboration — whether from Munich, Berlin, Lisbon, or while travelling.

“I founded tripbot because I believe travel planning should be fun again. Not stressful, not confusing, not manipulative — but simple, honest, and inspiring.”
For me, travel means freedom. You discover places, cultures, and people you didn't know before. And you often realise along the way that many problems are smaller than they feel at home. That is exactly the feeling I want to enable for more people.
tripbot is currently still a very early project. Much of it is created directly from user feedback, real problems, and the question: What would a travel platform look like if it were truly built for travelers? I'm looking for people who understand this vision and want to think ahead early on. Not sometime when everything is finished — but now, when you can still truly make an impact.
