Nick Martin Helps Professionals Connect on Flights with Planely
Networking is an important aspect of running a business, but finding times and places where one has an easy chance to do so without coming off as pushy or awkward isn’t an easy task. Cool person in technology Nick Martin believes business professionals are making a big mistake by ignoring one particular place that could be a proverbial gold mine for networking: airplanes. On most flights, professionals sit quietly or sleep. Some might read, but the hours spent on flights between major cities are usually time idly spent. Martin thinks these hours are a prime opportunity to develop mutually beneficial business relationships with other professionals and build a list of contacts. That’s why Martin founded Planely, a startup that tries to facilitate professional networking on flights all over the world. With Planely, professionals can find out what other people they will be traveling with on their next flight. Martin’s web app allows users to make connections pre-flight so businesspeople can plan to meet up at the airport or on the plane in order to start discussion and conversation. If someone has trouble connecting to Planely on the web, there is home tech support available at all times. Read more »
