Socialising the travel experience - in the way that Airbnb 'socialised' apartment rentals - has proved harder than expected. "Hot" Berlin-based startup Gidsy has spent almost two years touting its peer-to-peer booking platform for discovering local experiences and things to do. It attracted $1.2 million in a seed round in January 2012, with Hollywood star Ashton Kutcher participating. But recently rumours surfaced that the company was dead-pooling, unable to raise a follow on round based on its current growth figures. It's now been acquired by competitor GetYourGuide in an undisclosed deal. The latter has offices in Berlin and Las Vegas. Clearly, it's that Berlin connection that proved vital in this deal.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/B0oQEKZ9wKs/
