Hipmunk s founders launch Flight Penguin to bring back Hipmunk-style flight search – TechCrunch

Hipmunk’s founders launch Flight Penguin to bring back Hipmunk-style flight search Hipmunk’s founders are building a successor to their now-defunct flight search service. The startup was acquired by SAP-owned travel and expense platform Concur in 2016, and its CEO Adam Goldstein departed in 2018. But Goldstein told me he and his co-founder Steve Huffman (also co-founder and CEO of Reddit) were still disappointed when Concur shut the service down at the beginning of last year. “Over the years, there were millions and millions of people who used it and loved it,” Goldstein said. (I was one of those people even before I knew what he was working on, I started out our call by telling Goldstein how much I miss Hipmunk.)

Called Flight Penguin, the Chrome extension launches today and is billed as a direct competitor to Kayak (the company s website goes so far as to say It s time to put Kayak on ice ). Flight Penguin differs from Hipmunk in that Flight Penguin is a Chrome extension, not a website, that works from a customer s browser to pull the most up-to-date airfare prices.
