Where Will Your Krugo?

We’ve had great success building a gritty, determined team, at a cost that someone from Vancouver, Toronto or San Francisco might look at with astonishment.

Dan Gold, host of Startupville podcast & Martin Charlton’s Director of Digital Strategy talks with Kirk Morrison, Co-founder & CEO of Krugo, a travel app built in Regina that helps you discover concerts, sports, and shows wherever you’re travelling next.

The travel-tech space is a crowded one, with juggernauts like Expedia, Trivago, and Booking.com, with enough new entrants to fill a Boeing 747. So we talk with Kirk about how Krugo has been differentiating themselves amongst the crowd with a more brand-focused approach than most prairie tech startups.

Krugo has leveraged a lot to their advantage by starting and growing their team in the medium-sized city of Regina. But playing in the consumer travel space can have its challenges when you’re outside of major hubs, so Dan and Kirk dive deep into how Krugo is tackling major partnerships and setting up to make big waves from a landlocked province.
