About Gordian Software
We're on a mission to remove all unnecessary friction from air travel. The airline industry is built on a fossilized layer of technology and this causes billions of dollars of friction and lost opportunities for travelers and travel companies.
Our first product allows travel websites to easily sell airline ancillaries (add-ons like seat selection, baggage, etc) rather than force the customer to purchase them separately later.
Today, we serve more than 25 million passengers per month and have grown 1,500% in 2021. Our customers include Priceline, Hopper, and Trip.com and other top travel brands. Our investors include Y Combinator (Stripe, Airbnb), Localglobe, the co-founders of Plaid and the cofounder of Skyscanner.
We’ve done this with less than 15 people and are profitable.
Our core values are Freedom, Impact and Ownership. We find people with grit, intelligence, and flexibility, then set them loose on our highest impact problems.
Come join us and change air travel forever.
