David Kelso

David Kelso is the co-founder, Chief Technology Officer, and Chief Executive Officer of Beyond, a travel technology company based in San Francisco, California. He established the business in 2013 alongside co-founder Ian McHenry, pivoting from a local property management service called Beyond Stays to capitalize on the rapidly growing Airbnb ecosystem. Under his technical and executive leadership, the B2B SaaS platform has scaled to price billions of dollars in global short-term rental inventory and secured over $70 million in venture capital from investors including Bessemer Venture Partners. Kelso recently directed the launch of search-powered pricing algorithms that generated immediate 3% to 5% revenue increases for property managers, including a $41,000 gain for one client. His current focus remains on expanding Beyond's suite of dynamic pricing and revenue management software for the global vacation rental industry.
