A Conversation with Goedele Mangelaars


Listen Later

Michael Peres speaks with Goedele Mangelaars, solo founder of Pink Notebook, an AI-powered trip planning platform designed to make travel planning more visual, collaborative, and actually useful. With a life shaped by constant travel across the U.S. and London, plus experience at Skyscanner, Terra API, and Captify, Goedele brings a sharp perspective on why planning trips still feels more broken than it should.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How growing up across countries shaped Goedele’s relationship with travel and problem-solving
• What it’s really like building as a solo, female, non-technical founder
• Why she rejects the “move fast and break things” startup mindset
• The challenge of building across both U.S. and European markets
• What most AI travel planners still get wrong, and how Pink Notebook approaches it differently
