About Trazzler

Greetings, creative people.

We know you are out there writing, taking photos, sharing with friends and family, an endless pool of talent and vision. Platforms for sharing information about places abound. Editorial vision does not. Three years ago, tired of rants, writing designed for search engines, and glorified Yellow Pages that list every last Burger King, we decided to take a more thoughtful, human approach.

Our guarantee: on Trazzler, your work will always be in good company, surrounded by smart writing and excellent photos. Create your own beat (nail it and we'll make you an expert).

Our weekly contests are designed to be fun and thought provoking. Real editors will read, ponder, and collaborate with you to make sure your best work is rewarded with a professional portfolio, recognition, and even writing and photography contracts and prizes.

Team and Investors

Adam Rugel is the Founder and CEO of Trazzler. Adam worked alongside the founders of Twitter at a startup called Odeo. The initial idea for Trazzler--as a collection of highly selective experiences--was generated during brainstorming sessions with Twitter co-founder Biz Stone. Adam runs business and product development and is driven by the idea that four-stars-and-a-rant can't be the only way to do this.

Megan Cytron is a co-founder of Trazzler and developed the editorial philosophy that drives what you read here. She engages daily with the 10,000+ writers and photographers who have taken Trazzler's challenge to elevate the quality of writing and photography pertaining to places by sharing meaningful, succinct experiences.

Brian McManus runs all aspects of engineering, which includes everything from conceptualizing our products to analytics to iOS development, web front-end, Memcached, MongoDB, and MySQL, EC2/S3, geospatial work in MongoDB and MySQL...

Trazzler's investors include SV Angel, AOL Founder Steve Case, and the Twitter founders, Evan Williams, Jack Dorsey, and Biz. Our partners include the City of Chicago, Hawaii Tourism Authority, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Salon.com, Air New Zealand and many more.
