Skift Take
Saez-Gil knows the ways in which companies, which once could get away with bad customer service and bad design, are realizing that the Internet has made open innovation possible.
Diego Saez-Gil, CEO and co-founder of Bluesmart, spoke today at the Skift Global Forum.
Saez-Gil launched Bluesmart, the world’s first self-tracking, connected luggage, via crowdfunding platform Indiegogo and raised a record $2.7 million in the process. Prior to Bluesmart, Saez-Gil co-founded mobile travel startup WeHostels that was acquired by StudentUniverse in 2013.
