TripHub Inc. was founded in 1999 and was an early leader in online group travel planning and collaboration, redefining the group travel market. The company received Venture Round investment on 17 February 2000 from Madrona, Pioneer Venture Partners, and Washington Research Foundation. TripHub operated TripHub.com and co-branded sites for partners including Orbitz and Alaska Airlines. Despite early promise, the service shut down in 2008. Throughout its history, TripHub made significant strides in the group travel market, introducing various features and tools to streamline and enhance the travel planning experience. The company's focus on analytics and collaboration tools displayed potential in revolutionizing the way people plan and book group travel. However, despite these efforts and early investments, the company ultimately faced challenges that led to its closure.
