Will accelerate growth at San Diego International Airport

SAN DIEGO, May 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AtYourGate, LLC today announced it has completed its raise of $2,000,000 in its Seed funding round. Bolstered by TRITON FUNDS, the new fund launched by students at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), the investment has supported the development of the capability and capacity to deliver an innovative mobile e-commerce and gate delivery service in an airport environment as well as its current launch at San Diego International Airport.  The investment comes as the Company experiences solid month over month growth at San Diego International Airport and is now poised to expand in to other domestic and international airports.

In March of this year, AtYourGate, a California scale-up, and GOLO, a mobile ordering platform and part of the Paysafe Group, announced the launch of AtYourGate powered by GOLO – an innovative new app that allows airport goers to use their mobile phones to order airport products and have them delivered directly to them. Since its launch, airport personnel, flight crews, and travelers at the San Diego International Airport have been able to use the first-ever app of its kind to make a purchase from any of the participating outlets – be that a sandwich, salad, snack, or gift – and have it delivered directly to their gate or to any convenient location airport-wide.

“AtYourGate is honored to receive the support and funding from TRITON FUNDS,” said P.J. Mastracchio, Founder and CEO of AtYourGate, “We were born as a business in San Diego based on the confidence and support of the San Diego International Airport Innovation Lab and now, with the support of TRITON FUNDS, we elevate our commitment to our fellow San Diegans as they travel through San Diego Airport. We will deliver with great distinction.”

AtYourGate’s senior leadership has deep experience in airport & hospitality marketing as well as foodservice & logistics; the entire team is comprised of seasoned operators with the maturity to foster the necessary relationships with airport authorities, concessions, airlines, and the local communities.

“AtYourGate is making advances towards an improved traveling experience by creating a more efficient airport visit,” said Sam Yaffa, co-founder of TRITON FUNDS, “They provide the modern-day traveler, and travelers of the future, with a user-friendly platform that takes the hassle and stress out of airport shopping and dining. We foresee the impact of AtYourGate as a necessity for all large airports across the world.”

AtYourGate paved its path in 2016 as an inaugural member of Plug and Play’s Global Travel & Hospitality Platform of Innovation.  The 12-week program provides infrastructure support and assistance with scaling disruptive technologies that have a positive impact on travel and leisure.

The AtYourGate powered by GOLO app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store. A demonstration video of how the AtYourGate service works can be viewed on YouTube.
