This week travel startups announced more than $104.6 million in venture capital funding.
Earlier this week, Selina, an operator of mixed-use spaces for travelers, said it had received $150 million in real estate funding from DD3 Capital Partners. Selina, which calls itself a hospitality group and community for millennial travelers, had raised a $95 million Series B investment round earlier this year.
Earlier this week we reported that HomeToGo, a vacation rental price-comparison search engine, had raised an undisclosed "multi-million" dollar round.
Industry observers estimated the undisclosed sum as likely being at least $28 million (€25 million). The company declined to say if the latest investment was an extension of its Series C round.
HomeToGo, based in Berlin, said that its total raised to date is $150 million.
The startup, founded in 2014, didn’t reveal who led the round. But the company’s investors include most prominently Insight Venture Partners. Also part
