Cabin Launches LA To San Francisco Moving Hotel With $3M Funding

Need to get from LA to San Francisco, and back, but tired of waiting in airplane lines or driving yourself? A new, Bay Area startup, Cabin, says it has created a new way to get back and forth from San Francisco, which it bills a "moving hotel". The company says its moving hotels--luxury sleeper buses with a lounge, Wi-Fi, and bathrooms--will allow users to check in at 11pm, and wake up in the morning at their destination. The service will start at $115 to "fall asleep in San Francisco and wake up in Los Angeles." Cabin said it has just received $3.3M in seed financing for the service, led by Founders Fund's FF Angel with participation from SV Angel, Floodgate, Box Group, Brainchild Holdings, Justin Rosenstein, StartX, FJ Labs, and 1517 Fund.
