Hot 25 Startups 2021: Volara

Volara provides custom voice-based solutions to the hospitality industry, using its proprietary software that creates a hotel business tool running on hardware like the Amazon Echo and Google Nest Hub, among others. The system is used by property managers, creative agencies and technology integrators to enable memorable voice-based experiences at scale.

Goals for 2021

In 2021, Volara will bring its enterprise grade voice assistant solutions to more hotels, airports, stadiums and retail outlets.  Its voice interfaces will facilitate contactless engagement and touchless room controls for millions of travelers, many of which will be weary of directly interfacing with hospitality staff or touching foreign surfaces.

But most important of all, we'll partner with our friends across the travel and hospitality industry that have been adversely impacted by the current pandemic to help them build back better and stronger than ever.
