Tryp.com Raises €1.9M for AI Travel Tech Expansion

Copenhagen-based traveltech firm Tryp.com has successfully closed a €1.9 million funding round, signaling strong investor confidence in its AI-driven approach to trip planning. The investment, spearheaded by Point Capital Partners, with participation from existing investor Iberis Capital and several angel backers, will fuel the company's ambitious expansion into Asian and American markets. This latest capital infusion brings Tryp.com's total funding to €5.9 million, underscoring its rapid ascent since its inception.

Founded in 2021 by a team of six engineering students, Tryp.com has rapidly evolved from a student project into a sophisticated online travel agency. The company distinguishes itself by offering a unique AI-native platform that constructs and books complete multimodal journeys—encompassing flights, trains, buses, ferries, and accommodations—all within a single transaction. Unlike traditional search-centric models, Tryp.com prioritizes user-defined budgets and timeframes, dynamically assembling optimal itineraries from a vast database of over 80 million fares and 28 million lodging options. Its innovative virtual interlining capability connects over 7,000 locations, enabling the sale of routes previously unavailable through single carriers.

The platform's user experience is further enhanced by a personalized "For You" feed, powered by click-stream data and collaborative filtering, effectively replacing the conventional search bar. This AI-first philosophy has resonated with consumers, with half of all bookings originating from users who have not performed a manual search, instead opting for AI-generated recommendations. The company reports that its personalization models can nearly triple the click-through rate on suggested trips after just four user interactions, highlighting the efficacy of its intelligent recommendation engine.

Tryp.com's growth trajectory has been nothing short of remarkable. The company has surpassed the 10 million user milestone and now attracts approximately 1 million active users monthly. Sales have seen an average annual increase of roughly fourfold since 2022, with sales up 4x and revenue more than tripling year-to-date in 2026. Notably, September alone generated over €1.2 million in sales, exceeding the entire sales volume for 2024. The platform currently facilitates around 14,000 ticket sales per month, a volume equivalent to filling 18 Airbus A320 aircraft weekly.

“We began as six engineering students in Odense, grappling with the complexities of trip planning. Today, with ten million users and a major airline leveraging our engine for its holiday platform, this funding round empowers us to extend our technology to more partners while maintaining the capital efficiency that has defined our journey,” stated André Rangel de Sousa, co-founder and CEO of Tryp.com. The company also employs a unique Country Manager program, utilizing young brand ambassadors across Europe to drive sales and maintain low customer acquisition costs, reportedly generating around 40 million monthly views.

The strategic significance of this funding is amplified by Tryp.com's existing partnership with Wizz Air, whose AI package holiday platform, WIZZ Holidays, is powered by Tryp.com's technology. This collaboration is expected to be a key driver for future growth. Pedro Ceia, Investment Manager at Point Capital Partners, commented on the company's unique market position, stating, “Tryp.com occupies a distinct niche at the confluence of travel search and booking, catering to flexible, budget-conscious travelers undertaking complex, multi-stop journeys. Its technology has already secured a vital partnership with Wizz Air, a testament to its innovative capabilities and the strength of its founding team.” João Henriques, Partner at Iberis Capital, added, “Our continued investment reflects our belief in this team's ability to develop sophisticated travel technology with exceptional capital efficiency.”
