Although it’s not as well known to the general public as Silicon Valley, Seattle is a hot bed of technological innovation and entrepreneurs. Therefore, when I was in the process of getting my company started, I made a lot of trips to Seattle and spent a considerable amount of time there. From other entrepreneurs to potential investors, a lot of the people I needed to have meetings with were located in Seattle.

Even though you may think start-up companies have lots of money to burn when they receive investments, the truth is it takes a lot of well-spent money to get a company off the ground. Therefore, I was always trying to find ways to save money, especially in the area of travel. In addition to saving money on my actual flights, I found that the Internet was very useful in saving money on my car rental in Seattle. By visiting comparison websites, along with the websites of the major car rental companies, I was able to get a rental car at a great rate every single time that I had to make a trip to Seattle.
