Synopsis
GetYourGuide, the booking platform for travel experiences, raised $484m in Series E financing led by the SoftBank Vision Fund which was joined by co-investors Temasek, Lakestar, Korelya Capital and Heartcore Capital, while original investors such as Swisscanto Invest by Zürcher Kantonalbank continued their support of the company. As part of the investment, Ted Fike, Partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers, will join GetYourGuide’s Board of Directors. “Consumers, especially millennials, are spending an increasing portion of their disposable income on travel experiences. This combination creates powerful network effects for their business that is fueling their strong growth. We are excited to partner with their passionate and talented leadership team,” Ted Fike, SoftBank Partner.
