TRAVEL WITH A PURPOSEJuly 2014

VOLUNTEER TRAVEL

Volunteering abroad is expensive as it is a closed market controlled by placement agencies who charge thousands of dollars. We have successfully

commoditized volunteer-abroad-experiences by creating an open platform, or market exchange, for nonprofits to offer their experiences directly to travelers

Trip180 is an open platform for nonprofit organizations to post their volunteer opportunities around the world

Javier Barrera is an entrepreneur, engineer, and financier, founder of four companies with professional experience in engineering and financial analysis.

Mr. Barrera worked in New York investing in alternative asset classes for a private fund. Before working in finance, he worked in IT as a server specialist and engineer in both Canada and Mexico.

His tenure as an investment manager reawakened his passion for entrepreneurship; this, combined with his desire for travel and previous volunteer experiences triggered his wish to make Trip180 a reality.

ENVIRONMENT

Nonprofit organizations host travelers in their own facilities or form partnerships with local families and hostels to accommodate travelers

BROKEN MODEL

Nonprofits rely on placement agencies to receive volunteers. Sadly, due to the closed nature of the market, these agencies charge thousands of dollars to

travelers, and only relay a fraction of that money to the organizations

Travelers are discouraged due to the inflated prices, stripping the nonprofits of needed funding and hurting the movement as a whole

OUR SOLUTION

Trip180 simplifies the process by holding an inventory of accommodation spots attached to a cause. In our platform travelers can apply, communicate,

and pay the nonprofit of their choice for their experience
