01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
TomoGuides was a Seattle travel startup from Y Combinator's Summer 2012 batch, run by a two-person team. It made handcrafted iPhone travel guides that were free, worked offline, and were personalized and context-aware — mobile guides done right, as the founders put it. Y Combinator now lists the company as inactive.
