NexTravel is, in many respects, a classic travel startup in that it started out with one idea and then quickly pivoted to another.

The U.S.-based company, launched in 2015, as a consumer-facing leisure trip platform but realised that it could switch fairly easily to a service that focused on the needs of business travelers.

At that point, a few years into its history, business travel was still a reasonably quiet sector on the startup front.

This relative head start allowed co-founder and CEO, Wen-Wen Lam, to build a brand (and its associated technology behind the scenes) that has since gone on to capture a decent amount of share in a market that has, in recent years, mushroomed in terms of investment and profile for new businesses.

NexTravel now stands alongside a number of peers in the startup wing of business travel that are giving the incumbents - the large travel management companies - plenty to think about.

Lam is this week's guest on How I Got Here.

HIGH is a weekly show produced by PhocusWire and Mozio, aimed at getting the inside stories behind startups and innovation in travel and transportation.
