    "After launching its online travel service last April, Utrip continues to grow under the direction of 27-year-old CEO Gilad Berenstein. The company is adding new users each month, and while Berenstein says revenues are small, they are starting to grow. The company raised $1.6 million last year, and now employs 11 people.

    Berenstein came up with the idea for Utrip after traveling in Europe following grad school, noting that travel books just weren’t good enough to help craft his experience. The University of Washington grad wondered if a more personalized experience could be created, without the high costs of a travel agent.

    Gilad called Seattle the “single best tech community in the country” in his acceptance speech and noted how travel impacted his life.

    “Travel is the best thing in the world,” he said. “If I think back on my life, the most meaningful memories, the best experiences, they were all seeing new places. I hope Utrip can help more people see the world for themselves.”"
