- HipClub — Our first project was conceived HipWay.ru in April 2009, when we, its creators, not for the first time confronted with the problem of organizing your own holiday, we decided to create a project that will be useful for those looking for a fun and unconventional holiday. And thus, in contrast to the large number of already existing at the time oftravel social networks, forums and so on, we will set a goal that will be exactly hipway.ru shop travel, with the possibility of booking and payment online. A year later, in April 2010, appeared hipway.ru - the first project that brings together all the most interesting and unusual travel in one convenient directory, with the possibility of booking and payment online.Immediately after starting hipway.ru ranked sites day rambler.ru, it is absolutely without our knowledge - the unprecedented influx of visitors we have learned from that page hipway.ru opened a few seconds and broke off from the phone calls. Project immediately had to switch to a new server and organizers inspire and start looking for investors. Up to this point the project was funded entirely by private funds.In parallel with the search for an investor we planned to start a second project - hipclub - private club offers a great vacation c exclusive discounts. We gave the project to the development of our IT-team and continued to search for funding.In mid-2010 we were lucky - we got a great project investors - Javier Pérez-Tenessa, founder of eDreams, Michael van Swaaij, former CEO Skype and eBay top manager and several other equally wonderful "business angels". These people are now helping us not only financially, but also valuable advice.In October 2010, we launched hipclub, who became the first Internet cafe, specializing in tourism and leisure. In a short time hipclub not only got wide coverage on the Internet , but also got great reviews from its customers that we are particularly pleased, as it was initially the main task of both projects is to create a travel company with the best customer service.
