Gidsy

Seed Round in 2012
Gidsy is a community marketplace for authentic experiences. Gidsy makes it easy for people to offer and book all sorts of tours, local activities, workshops, and other fun things to do. Kind of like an AirBnB for local experiences, where Gidsy tries to answer the question what you'll do during the day, instead of wondering where to sleep at night. As of January 2012, the website has ‘city pages’ (pages that show curated listings for a given city) for New York, San Francisco, London, Berlin, and Amsterdam.
