About

Eddy Travels built a voice and text travel assistant that worked inside messaging platforms rather than as a standalone booking site: a traveller could ask for flights or hotels in a chat and get results back. Edmundas Balčikonis co-founded the company and was its chief executive, taking it through the Techstars Toronto accelerator class of 2019 and appearing on TechTO's TravelTechTO chatbots panel that May. EU-Startups reported in September 2022 that TripAdd, a global travel marketplace, had acquired the company. Sources disagree on the founding year and on how many people used the product, so neither is stated here.
