ABOUT TRIPACTIONS
TripActions is the fastest-growing corporate travel platform
disrupting a $1.3T industry and shaping the future of business travel.
TripActions is a story of inspiration born of frustration. Road
warriors and co-founders Ariel Cohen and Ilan Twig believed that
companies deserved a travel solution that takes the pain out of work
trips –– so that their travelers can focus on being productive and
meeting in-person, not wasting valuable time booking travel. So in 2015,
they created TripActions. TripActions’ platform offers a vast selection
of inventory that travelers can choose from, a personalized, intuitive
user interface driven by machine learning, and 24/7 proactive real
human, customer support. Companies enjoy complete travel program
visibility, over 30% cost savings on average and seamless integrations
with their HR and expense systems.
Globally, TripActions has grown to over 400 employees across 7
offices in 4 countries. We support over 1,000 customers, with innovative
brands like Lyft, Dropbox, Sara Lee Frozen Bakery, SurveyMonkey,
Robinhood and the ACLU relying on TripActions for their business travel
needs. As one of Silicon Valley’s newest “unicorns”, TripActions has a
valuation north of $1B and a total of $232M in funding. We’ve recently
received $154M in our Series C funding round –– led by new investor
Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from repeat investors Lightspeed
Venture Partners, Zeev Ventures and SGVC.
TripActions was recently ranked #3 in the U.S. for Happiest
Employees by Comparably, reflecting our focus on company culture and our
incredible team. We’re on a mission to power the in-person connections
that move people, ideas and businesses forward.
We’re redefining what it means to travel for work. Come help us build the future of business travel.
