HOWZAT media was founded in 2006 by Hugo Burge and David Soskin.
We (Hugo and David ) were involved in the purchase of Cheapflights in early 2000 and have since managed the Company through successful growth in the UK market and entry into the very competitive US market. We were meeting brilliant & inspiring individuals who were building exciting internet enterprises of which we wanted to be a part. With the business thriving on both sides of the Atlantic , we didn’t want to miss out on the variety of new opportunities that the internet offered.
What makes our investment fund different?
- Focussed on global internet media companies.
- Driven by the team who invested in Cheapflights and built it into an international leader in travel-search on both sides of the Atlantic .
- Offers significant leverage of hands-on experience.
- Passion for usability, travel and the internet. We get excited by internet ideas and that's the reason we called the company HOWZAT media.
- We build partnerships…we do not put our money into ‘investments’.
- Quotes we like:
“I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"There are only two types of internet Company: the quick and the dead.”- John Hatt (Founder of Cheapflights)
