Among the 15 seed rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Presso at $8M (2023-01-19). That figure sits well above the next-highest disclosed rounds—Sedna Horeca at $6M (2025-05-02) and Tripscout at $2M (2021-03-16)—while several others cluster in the hundreds of thousands (e.g., Boldest at $390K on 2023-11-17; utc.travel at $350K on 2024-11-06). The disclosed amounts also show an early-year concentration: six of the 15 rounds were dated in 2021–2022 (Odyssey Travel App $100K on 2022-02-07, Trainman $940K on 2022-07-20, YouTravel.me $1M on 2021-09-02, goStops $1M on 2021-07-08, Tripscout $2M on 2021-03-16, and Eleanor $100K on 2021-10-01).
Geographically, most entries are outside any single repeated city: the list includes one each for Atlanta (Presso), Delhi (goStops), and Chicago (Odyssey Travel App and Tripscout), but no city appears more than twice. In terms of completeness, amounts are undisclosed for 4 of 15 rounds (Crewpoint 2025-05-25; Papaya 2024-07-19; Layover Solutions 2023-02-16; Safara 2022-09-01), and disclosed amounts span from $100K (Eleanor 2021-10-01; Odyssey Travel App 2022-02-07) up through $8M. The most recent round date shown is 2025-05-25 (Crewpoint, undisclosed), while the oldest is 2021-03-16 (Tripscout at $2M).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed seed round in this travel and tourism slice, and how far above the rest is it?
Presso’s $8M seed (2023-01-19) is the largest disclosed amount in the table. It’s followed by Sedna Horeca at $6M (2025-05-02) and Tripscout at $2M (2021-03-16), while multiple other disclosed rounds fall into the hundreds of thousands (e.g., utc.travel $350K on 2024-11-06; Boldest $390K on 2023-11-17).
Do the most recent entries cluster into a narrow time window?
Yes: within the last 12 months of the rows shown, there are three seed rounds dated between 2024-07-19 and 2025-05-25 (Papaya 2024-07-19, utc.travel 2024-11-06, Crewpoint 2025-05-25). Disclosed amounts in that window range from $350K (utc.travel, 2024-11-06) to $6M (Sedna Horeca, 2025-05-02), with two of those rounds undisclosed (Crewpoint and Papaya).
Which city pattern stands out, given the one-name-per-entry granularity here?
Chicago shows up twice in different startups and years—Odyssey Travel App ($100K on 2022-02-07) and Tripscout ($2M on 2021-03-16). Other cities in the list (Atlanta for Presso, Delhi for goStops, Frankfurt for Layover Solutions, and Bangkok for Papaya) appear only once, so there isn’t a broader repeated-city hub beyond that pair.
How concentrated are rounds around 2021–2022 compared with the rest of the listing?
Six of the 15 rounds are dated in 2021–2022: Tripscout (2021-03-16, $2M), goStops (2021-07-08, $1M), YouTravel.me (2021-09-02, $1M), Eleanor (2021-10-01, $100K), Odyssey Travel App (2022-02-07, $100K), and Trainman (2022-07-20, $940K). The remaining entries spread across 2023–2025, including a more recent set clustered in 2024–2025.
Are there notable outliers on the downside or completeness side?
On the downside, the smallest disclosed amount is $100K, appearing twice: Odyssey Travel App (2022-02-07) and Eleanor (2021-10-01). On completeness, 4 of 15 seed rounds are undisclosed (Crewpoint 2025-05-25; Papaya 2024-07-19; Layover Solutions 2023-02-16; Safara 2022-09-01), which affects comparisons of magnitude for those specific companies.
What stage information is consistent across the list, and does anything differ?
Every row shown is labeled Seed, so the stage mix is uniform across the 15 companies (e.g., Presso $8M on 2023-01-19 and utc.travel $350K on 2024-11-06 are both Seed). Variability is mainly in disclosed size and whether the amount is undisclosed, rather than in stage labeling.
