Wednesday, March 25th, 2026 — Most startups don’t fail because of a bad product — they stall because of a rocky Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy. The Travel Technology Association (Travel Tech) is excited to welcome Venkat Chandramoleshwar as the featured speaker for the March Start-Up Member Meet-Up on Tuesday, March 31st, sharing practical insights on “Avoiding Launch Pitfalls: Real-World GTM and Scaling Insights in Travel Tech.”
Venkat has extensive experience in Partnerships and Business Development, having developed, scaled, and managed high-impact technology partnerships across travel tech and e-commerce. His experience spans roles at Google, ITA Software, and United Airlines, where he has navigated strategic partnerships, built go-to-market strategies, and closed complex deals that delivered measurable business impact.
What you’ll learn:
- How to land your first pilot partner — and turn early traction into real momentum
- What it takes to move from launch to scale without stalling out
- How to avoid (and recover from) common GTM missteps
Beyond the speaker session, these meet-ups provide a chance to connect with fellow founders, share updates, and hear the latest on Travel Tech’s advocacy supporting pro-innovation policies.
Note: These sessions are an exclusive benefit for Travel Tech Start-Up Members. Prospective members may attend one meet-up to experience the community firsthand — reach out to Bethany Reitsma for the calendar invite.
We hope you’ll join us for a candid, practical conversation — and a chance to learn from and connect with others building in travel tech.
