Palo Alto, California-based company offers a travel booking and management service for companies, designed to help corporate travelers book hotels, flights, and other related services at a discounted price.
Founded in 2015 by Israelis Ariel Cohen and Ilan Twig, who previously co-founded business collaboration software StreamOnce, that was acquired in 2013 by Jive Software for about $10 million.
Two Israeli investors, Dov Frances, of venture firm SGVC, and Oren Zeev, of Zeev Ventures LLC are the early investors who also participated in all rounds.
The company has expanded its platform adding TripActions Luxe, a VIP program for executive travelers; TripActions’ Guest Invite Portal, designed for HR and recruiting teams; and TripActions’ in-house Meetings & Event solution for group travel.
The company operates seven offices in London, Amsterdam, and Sydney. Lyft, Dropbox, and Sara Lee Frozen Bakery among its customers, according to the company.
“Something is really happening in the industry; something bigger than us,” Cohen told TechCrunch. “Different startups are identifying the opportunity here and the fact that companies want to make sure their employees are happy while they are on the go, that’s why you see investments in companies like Brex and like TripActions.”
“It’s about time that employees really feel great while they are booking their trip, while they are on the go and while they are doing their expenses at the end.”
