In October of last year,
the company announced a Series C round of $44 million

The funds came just seven months after a Series B round of $21 million.

Further milestones for 2019 so far include a 250% increase in headcount and new offices in London and Berlin.
Avi Meir, co-founder and CEO of TravelPerk, says:
“We believe that travel is the biggest unsolved problem in business today. As a $1.3 trillion global market, it's staggering that businesses have been stuck for so long with a status quo defined by limited inventory, inflexible booking experiences and lousy customer support.
“We have big ambitions for the next phase of our product development, which will see us quickly bring new offerings to market that don’t just see business travel catch up with consumer travel, but actually surpass it.”
