Our take
Although business travellers are often at the forefront of driving company growth, booking travel is typically a logistical nightmare as corporate travel tools are underdeveloped and stuck way in the past. TravelPerk has built a platform free from micromanagement, creating an experience that puts business travellers first.
TravelPerk's number of active users has grown year on year. Further, as well as more customers using the platform, those on it are using it more regularly. This is a clear signal that TravelPerk has a product market fit and is in scaling mode. The company has more than 2,000 customers, including scaleups like Revolut, Farfetch and Beyond Meat.
According to TravelPerk, its unit economics are strong already, which puts it in a strong position to grow without diluting itself too much through investment. The company is still innovating and said it is planning to release more products that will give the business traveller more freedom and flexibility than ever before. Its new Edinburgh hub and partnership with fintech unicorn Pleo, TravelPerk is undoubtedly committing to a period of scaling. Exemplifying this is its Series D funding of $104 million awarded in January 2024, which will boost TravelPerk's AI and automation capabilities to aid its growth.
