We remember back when the first request for StartupsHK to cover a new travel startup called Klook came in.
Just look at them now!
Klook announced today that it has completed a near US$60 million Series C funding, representing the largest deal ever for an in-destination service booking platform. They bring onboard Goldman Sachs in this co-investment with existing investors Sequoia Capital and Matrix Partners. With this round of financing, they will further the company’s global expansion and accelerate product growth and innovation.
One of the pioneers in Asia’s travel activity booking space, Klook has seen rapid growth in the span of three short years:
- Providing over 30,000 attractions, tours, activities and essential travel services offered in 120 different cities.
- 1 million+ monthly bookings serving users from over 50 nationalities, with the majority from Asia.
- Klook services support 30 currencies with 7 language services provided and more to come.
- Over 1 million verified user reviews of Klook activities.
- 13 offices across Asia with a focus on both the supply and demand side of the business and offices in the US and Europe to be operational next year.
Congrats Eric and team! So proud of you guys!
