Who we are

Comprised of seasoned hotel people, finance guru’s and technology leaders based in Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California. JENIE came to fruition because we found there is a lack of connection between great travel search and popular booking platforms.  

After delving deeper and some thoughtful soul searching, we developed the idea of JENIE in 2018. We wanted to tackle the flawed travel search where there is little to no information on the selected on properties, even given the high commissions properties have to pay for being on a booking platform, and the lack of validated peer-driven booking where travelers can save and share recommendations. We pay users dollar bills not loyalty non-sense. Loyalty is built with trust and great service. We plan to built the next best OTA through these two guidelines, not some silly points scheme.

This means travelers can easily get no-hassle booking and quickly find recommendations from their friends, family or creators all while knowing they are booking with an innovative company focused on customer service and technology. Properties will get a chance to get in-depth analytics on their customer base to help then create, adopt of adapt to better experience for their guests.  

That’s how booking should be—with real recommendations and real people, and real money. Nothing fake about it.
