History

TravelPerk was founded in 2015 by Avi Meir, Javier Suarez, and Ron Levin. ^{[10] [11]} Meir previously founded Hotel Ninjas, a web-based Hotel Management Software that was acquired by Booking.com. ^[12] After the selling of Hotel Ninjas, Meir met Suarez while working at Booking.com. ^[13] At first they worked on creating a business travel management platform that included a rewards program for business travelers taking business trips and launched it in September 2015. ^[14] Soon after, TravelPerk received $7 million in series A funding led by Spark Capital. ^[15] The company dropped the awards element, but further enabled seamless travel booking with the integration of train booking service to their platform. In October 2018, the company raised a $21 million Series B round led by Target Global, Felix Capital, Spark Capital, Sunstone and Amplo. ^[16] In July 2019, TravelPerk finalized a two part, $104 million series C funding backed by Kinnevik, Partners of DST Global, Target Global, Felix Capital, Sunstone, and LocalGlobe. ^{[17] [18] [19] [20]}

The company partnered with Lufthansa airlines in 2019 to provide the customers direct booking facilities. ^{[21] [22]} In the same year, TravelPerk launched a new product known as FlexiPerk that gives business travelers 90% refunds on cancellations on all bookings. ^{[23] [24] [25] [26]}
