The seed of Trazzler was created in the original Twitter offices by a former Odeo employee, Adam Rugel, along with travel writer John Vlahides (Lonely Planet, Conde Nast…), Biz Stone, and Adam Weller. The original site was 71miles.com In 2008, Trazzler was awarded an fbFund grant to develop a Facebook application. Today, co-founder Biz and Cheryl Rosner provide a steady stream of vision and support as board members, Megan Cytron heads Trazzler’s editorial team, and we recently closed a seed round of funding spearheaded by SV Angel and including AOL Co-Founder Steve Case, Founder Collective, AOL Ventures, Jack Dorsey, and Dave Morin.
