Kayak co-founder takes on Calendly with new Supercal scheduling platform

Kayak co-founder Paul English has launched a new scheduling platform called Supercal, which aims to compete with Calendly. Supercal is a free service that allows users to easily schedule meetings and appointments. The platform is designed to be more user-friendly and efficient than existing scheduling tools. It offers features such as automatic time zone detection, customizable scheduling templates, and the ability to sync with various calendar apps. English believes that Supercal can disrupt the scheduling software market, which is currently dominated by Calendly. He argues that Supercal's focus on simplicity and ease of use sets it apart from its competitors. The launch of Supercal comes as part of English's broader efforts to build a portfolio of new technology companies. He has a track record of successful entrepreneurship, having co-founded Kayak, the popular travel search engine, in 2004. Overall, Supercal represents a new player in the scheduling software market, with the potential to challenge the dominance of established players like Calendly.
