The beginning - TripHack.ai
The project launches as TripHack.ai. Global travel platform covering destinations around the world, with the first version of places, events and cities.
Team & product growth
The team expands, the platform is rebuilt from the ground up, and dozens of new features, cities and categories are added.
International recognition
The project reaches the final of EIT Jumpstarter as one of the top teams selected from over 900 startups across Europe, and enters the European startup ecosystem.

TripHack.ai becomes CityGuide.bg with a strong local focus becoming the national digital guide for Bulgaria. Over 100,000 users, 40,000+ community members, 33 cities and thousands of places and events later, the platform is now the go-to companion for (re)discovering the country.
