Crystal Springs Resort Built a Drive-To World 50 Miles From Manhattan
Two hotels, six golf courses, ten dining venues and a cellar with thousands of labels make this Sussex County resort less a hotel than a choose-your-own weekend - close enough to New York that nobody needs a boarding pass.
Marco Experiences
Marco Experiences is a San Francisco startup that turns the miserable job of booking a company offsite into something closer to a search box. Its AI scans 4,000-plus vetted hotels, negotiates group rates 20-40% below retail, and lets teams book rooms, meeting space, and meals with no phone calls, contracts, or service fees. Founded in 2019 by Suman Siva and Nick Freeman, Marco started life as a social-events product, pivoted through virtual experiences during the pandemic, and landed on group travel for distributed teams - now used by 5,000+ teams including Figma, Gusto, Ramp, and Notion.
