Couchsurfing
VC Fund
San Francisco, United States
Couchsurfing is a VC fund in San Francisco focused on Travel and Artificial Intelligence. Couchsurfing began in 2004 as a small passion project by founders Casey Fenton, Daniel Hoffer, Sebastian Le Tuan and Leonardo Bassani da Silveira. An email to a group of students in Iceland gave birth to the idea that people anywhere would want to share their homes with strangers (or, as we like to call them, friends you haven’t met yet ).
