Jochem Wijnands is a Dutch entrepreneur and cofounder of two successful mobile publishing startups: TRVL and Prss. Previously a documentary photographer, his work has been published in magazines and newspapers worldwide.

In July 2010, Wijnands, together with Michel Elings started TRVL, the first iPad exclusive magazine in the world, heralding a new era in magazine publishing.[1] In August 2012 Wijnands co-founded Prss, a mobile publishing platform, again with his business partner Elings. In 2014 Prss was acquired by Apple to help create Apple News and the Apple News Format. [2]

In 2015 Jochem Wijnands returned from Apple to turn TRVL into a travel booking platform where anyone can help anyone with travel recommendations while earning money. The platform is a sharing-economy approach to booking travel for your friends and complete strangers. [3]
