Today, we announced that our company has been acquired by a team of industry-leading investors, including Steve Singh, Managing Director at Madrona Ventures and founder of the world’s largest travel and expense management company, Concur (now SAP Concur). Other investors include Durable Capital Partners LP, Top Tier Capital Partners, and Blackstone Credit & Insurance. A pillar of the company’s strategy is to create #ThePerfectTrip, powered by a modern integrated travel technology stack from Spotnana (Travel-as-a-service platform), Center (getcenter.com) (card-first expense management platform), and TROOP (group meetings and events platform). With nearly 40% of travelers ranking “travel technology” as their top area of dissatisfaction with corporate programs, this emphasis on technology solves a fundamental problem plaguing the industry. We hope you’ll join us on this new journey! Learn more: https://bit.ly/43LOHAX
