Topguest Hooks IHG, All-Star Investors [Video]

Earlier this month, investor Jeff Clavier told us on TechCrunch TV that he had just invested in a promising startup that was related to the geo-location space. Well, we didn't have to go very far to unveil the identity of Clavier's mystery startup. Less than two weeks later, Geoff Lewis, the founder of Topguest knocked on our door. The New York based startup is a travel rewards service based on the geo-location game. The service, which launched last month, helps you easily aggregate points for travel rewards programs by synching up with your check-in apps. Although the service only has about 10,000 users, momentum is building. Topguest has attracted the wallets of not only Clavier, but also Ron Conway, Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and Keith Rabois. This Thursday, Topguest also unveiled a new partnership with InterContinental Hotels, the largest hotel company in the world by number of rooms.
