Zicasso Talent Pool

Zicasso was founded by Brian Tan and Yuchun Ku to address a common challenge faced by busy professionals who love to travel: the difficulty of planning complex international trips. As executives in Silicon Valley, they aimed to explore new global destinations annually but lacked the extensive time required for in-depth research and planning. Traditional travel agencies often provided generalized advice, falling short of the expert, destination-specific knowledge Brian and Yuchun sought. Their own experiences revealed a gap in the market – a need for a service that could connect discerning travelers with highly knowledgeable, boutique travel specialists who could craft exceptional, personalized vacations. These specialists, often part of small, dedicated teams, possessed the insider access and deep understanding necessary to transform a good trip into an unforgettable one.

This realization led to the creation of Zicasso, a platform designed to meticulously match travelers with the top 10% of travel specialists worldwide. Our customers are individuals and families seeking unique, life-enriching travel experiences, from intricate multi-country itineraries to exclusive access to cultural and natural wonders. They value authenticity, quality, and seamless execution, which is precisely what our network of pre-qualified partners delivers. Each travel specialist in the Zicasso network undergoes a rigorous vetting process, including personal interviews and a demonstrated track record of exceptional destination knowledge and local contacts. They are committed to designing customized itineraries that go beyond standard tourist offerings, incorporating unique activities and insider experiences tailored to each traveler's specific interests and desires. This customer-centric approach ensures that every journey planned through Zicasso is not just a vacation, but a collection of cherished memories, whether it's an African safari, a culinary exploration of Italy, or a cultural immersion in Japan. We empower travelers to discover the world in profound and personal ways, with the confidence that every detail is expertly handled.
