Prontopia is the safe and simple way to get local help exactly when and where you need it. After a career spent traveling between California and Italy, Prontopia’s founder and CEO Shannon Kenny began to notice a few things. First, she noticed that, as a mom of two and a caregiver to aging parents, her travel experience would be so much easier if she just had a friend in the city to help her. And second, that in an industry largely defined by a DIY traveler mentality, that there was an opportunity to build connections in local destinations. In travel today, the increased usage of AirBnb, smart phones, and a DIY traveler mentality has left travelers with a false sense of confidence. Often upon arrival, travelers find themselves lost, struggling with luggage, or facing barriers to access - without a contact person or hotel front desk to help them. So Kenny founded Prontopia in April of 2017. Prontopia connects travelers with locals who love their cities. In doing this, Prontopia has created a new category of service: simple help in the city when and where you need it. In cities with increasing car bans, limited door-to-door transportation, and barriers to access, travelers often find themselves lost without a contact person or hotel front desk to help them. Prontopia provides a solution in the form of a friendly local, which minimizes stress for travelers. Prontopia offers solutions for travelers and city residents from its community of trusted local assistants who provide a helping hand whenever needed. Prontopia's community model empowers locals to have their voices heard. Prontopia is a public benefit corporation committed to cultivating human rights awareness through global connectedness and human understanding. We believe that together, we are better. Through purposeful grassroots action, we help travelers, locals, and communities arrive to a better place without delay.Prontopia Address
