šŸ”® Our Analysis
Saying youā€™d like to travel the world is easy. But planning a solid travel itinerary within a budget can be difficult and time-consuming. Eludeā€™s simple and intuitive design makes it easy to quickly find a number of diverse and affordable travel options with just a few clicks. Eludeā€™s CEO Alex Simon told us that ā€œbeing the first budget-first platform gives people the ability to find locations that they wouldnā€™t have otherwise searched through traditional platforms. We want to keep on the cutting edge of technology and make product enhancements that follow. We want to reach as many people as possible to show them whatā€™s possible for their budget and time.ā€ We hope to see the company soar in 2022!
