Flight Network Corporate Office

Flight Network was founded by CEO Naman Budhdeo. After college, Budhdeo wanted to run a discount travel site that could compete with website giant Expedia.

The company operates a discount travel site that specializes in flights but also offers hotels, vacation package deals, car rentals, and more. Budhdeo says in an interview that the best vacation he ever had was in South Africa and that he hopes to travel to Antartica one day.

As of this writing, the company has an A+ rating with the BBB although it has 160 complaints listed on the Better Business Bureau website.

The company is listed as the largest Canadian-owned online travel agency within Canada and Budhdeo states that his site is the second most visited behind Expedia. The company uses a unique software program and shuns the typical bot automated process.

Flight Network offers an unlimited Price Drop Protection guarantee which states that if you find a lower price elsewhere on the same ticket, the company provides a credit for the difference.

The corporate office for Flight Network is located in Toronto, Canada. The phone number listed is for calls originating in the US.

Gabi Corporate Office

Gabi Personal Insurance, known to most as simply Gabi, is a mobile phone app and website with an automated insurance search engine that checks the 25 largest insurance companies in the US and compares rates.

The service also constantly monitors changes in insurance rates, notifying clients if a better rate is found at another company. Founder Hanno Fichtner stated in an interview that most brokers and agents are influenced to offer clients companies that might not be the lowest rate since they work on commission.

The company currently operates only within the US, but plans to expand internationally. Gabi offers rate comparisons for home, auto, renters, umbrella, and life insurance. While Gabi would like to offer health insurance, at this time, Fichtner says that the market is too volatile and he will wait until at least after the 2020 presidential election.

On signup, clients can send their policies directly to Gabi. The company then analyzes their current coverage and compares the rate with those of major insurance companies to find a better price for the same coverage. By scanning existing insurance documents to create an insurance profile for each customer, Gabi saves the customer the tedious step of entering all the information by hand.

Headquarters for Gabi are located in San Francisco, California.

PolicyGenius Corporate Office

PolicyGenius was the brainchild of two former McKinsey consultants, Francois de Lame and Jennifer Fitzgerald. Founded in 2012 and launched in 2014, PolicyGenius is an online insurance quoting platform. This platform allows for the comparison of insurance companies and rates side by side, as well as enables the user to do insurance “checkups” to see if they are not only getting the best rate but whether they also have adequate coverage.

As McKinsey consultants, Fitzgerald and de Lame often advised insurance companies on growth and marketing. They quickly noticed a pattern: all insurance companies struggled with how to engage online with self-directed consumers. Thus, PolicyGenius was formed. The company originally planned to handle life insurance but has grown to include renters, pet, and long-term disability insurance as well.

By being a virtual online broker, the company eliminates “competition” or bias by simply stating the facts about price and benefits.

In addition to selling insurance, the company offers a comprehensive explanation as to what the terms in policies mean and exactly how they work, how much you need, what is optional and what is considered to be “the basics”.

PolicyGenius uses no-nonsense terms and a very-non-formal approach to attract a younger crowd. Co-founder Jennifer Fitzgerald says that most people seem to like the fact that they don’t have to talk to (and divulge their medical history to) a salesperson. Everything is done online, at the client’s convenience, not the insurance companies hours.

The company has 5-star reviews on almost every review site, including Consumer Affairs, TrustPilot, Financialsmural, and CashCowCouple. The Better Business Bureau also gives them 5 stars and an A+ rating. The corporate office for PolicyGenius is in New York, New York.

SeatGuru.Com Corporate Office

Seatguru.Com was founded in 2001 by frequent flier Matthew Daimler. Daimler wished that there was a way to know which seats were available on an airline and which were considered to be better seats than others.

The company operates a website which offers color-coded seats on airlines, with green being considered good seats, red being bad seats and yellow meaning the seat has a special note, such as less leg room or close to the restrooms. The website also offers other types of information about a flight, such as check-in procedures and baggage rules.

Seatguru.Com was purchased in 2007 by TripAdvisor. Company headquarters have since been related from Seattle, Washington, to Needham, Massachusetts.
