    "We are very confident in the return of business travel this year, and this investment will allow us to accelerate our ambitious growth plan in crucial markets like the US and Europe and deliver on travelers' changing priorities as safety, sustainability and greater flexibility become essential requirements for all travel."

    TravelPerk combines the best of business and leisure travel to provide its customers with the world's best travel platform for booking, managing and reporting business trips, using its proprietary technology and best-in-class 24/7 traveler support. The TravelPerk platform hosts the world's largest bookable travel inventory, allowing travelers to seamlessly compare, book and invoice trains, cars, flights, hotels and apartments from a range of providers including Kayak, Skyscanner, Expedia, Booking.com, and Airbnb. This offers business travelers unparalleled freedom and flexibility while providing companies with control over their travel spend.

    The Series D is another milestone for TravelPerk after a year that has seen the company develop and release a range of new solutions for travel in a COVID and post-COVID world. This includes TravelSafe, TravelPerk's first product for the wider travel industry, which made TravelPerk's real-time data on the latest COVID travel restrictions available through an API. The company also completed its first ever acquisitions, acquiring risk management startup Albatross in 2020, and US-based competitor NexTravel in January 2021, cementing its position as an industry leader and significantly expanding its US presence. TravelPerk also continued to improve and future-proof existing products such as FlexiPerk, the industry-first flexible booking tool that manages last minute cancellations and guarantees 80% of the trip refunded.

    "There is no doubt that from 2021 onwards the average business trip will look very different to how it did in 2019," said Pogos Saiadian, investor at Greyhound Capital. "We are confident that business travel will recover and thrive in the years ahead. We also believe that people will, more than ever before, need a platform like TravelPerk that has deep inventory, excellent 'seven-star' customer service, provides a great traveler experience and integrates with the broader tech-stack.
