How VoyajeBoard startedVoyajeBoard was founded in Chicago in November 2025 by Adam Johnson, after one too many trips were planned the same way: a thirty-message text thread, a shared spreadsheet that absolutely no one updated, three browser tabs that were definitely not the same hotel, and a hand-drawn budget that survived first contact with the airport bar by about nine minutes. The solo trips were not much better, just quieter: the same spreadsheet, the same tabs, and nobody to blame for the hotel.Adam spent several years inside the travel and OTA industry, on the side of the screen most travelers never see. The systems, the GDS plumbing, the pricing logic, the affiliate ecosystem, the reasons your flight got rebooked at 4 a.m. He kept noticing the same thing: the back end of travel got significantly better every year. The front end, for people actually trying to take a trip, did not. The traveler still got a spreadsheet.VoyajeBoard is the app he wishes had existed for every trip he ever planned, alone or otherwise, then was asked to plan again, then was asked to please not plan because he kept building spreadsheets. It is built on the conviction that the tool should fit the trip, and that a traveler going alone deserves the same care as a group of eight.
