Travel-focused lifestyle app Leavy.co raises $14m

Leavy.co, the innovative travel community and marketplace, has raised $14m in seed funding and launched its lifestyle app, designed to help millennial locals travel for less.

Prime Ventures has led what is considered the largest ever seed funding round in travel tech worldwide, with participation from angel investor Dominique Vidal, partner at Index Ventures, who has worked with some of the US and Europe’s biggest consumer internet companies.

The startup’s proprietary technology – network orchestration combined with a revenue maximiser system – is key to boosting the millennials’ lifestyle and travel buying power and new mobility choices.

Leavy.co’s community network has reached +65 000 millennials, of whom 60% are women. Since it was started, 21 months ago, the company has grown +30% month-over-month and has +100 employees across 6 markets. With offices in Paris, Amsterdam, London, Madrid, Rome, and Lisbon, they plan to open in the US by the end of this year.
