CEO HomeToGo
HomeToGo
Around eight years ago, Patrick Andrä and two friends founded HomeToGo, initially as a meta-search engine for vacation rentals. The idea was born out of personal experience: When Andrä was looking for a suitable place to stay himself, he quickly realized how confusing the market was. There were numerous providers, and the same property was often listed at different prices. With their startup, the founders therefore set out to bring together listings from different platforms, making the search more transparent and easier to compare.
