Source: GetYourGuide books $194M at a $2B valuation with travel experiences back in business
Summary
Berlin-based travel startup GetYourGuide has raised $194m in a round led by Blue Pool Capital, KKR and Temasek, and is valued at $2bn. The company, which curates and sells travel experiences, plans to use the funds to expand into new markets, add hikes, tours and other events, and invest in AI and other technology to improve the platform. The fundraising is extraordinary in light of the difficulties in raising consumer start-up money during the pandemic and the challenges faced by start-ups.
