Pinocular

Seed Round in 2013
Pinocular was made for travelers by travelers. After working in Silicon Valley long enough the founders began going outside more often. Their doctors were pleased to see their vitamin D levels stabilize, and they felt better, too. They decided to visit hot spots like Hawaii, and took up surfing, scuba diving, and other activities. They began to visit museums, they learned how to sing and dance, got married and started families. In short, they began to work to live rather than live to work. One of the best decisions they made – as it lead to their purchase of vacation homes that they rent out when not using them. After a while they wanted to share their love for travel with others – and to help vacation rental owners like themselves at the same time. So they created Pinocular, where vacation rental owners rent out their homes to travelers looking to do what they love while on vacation.
