Barcelona-based TravelPerk acquires travel information API provider Albatross
Summary
Founded in 2015, Barcelona-based TravelPerk has grown to 400+ employees in 5 years, and continue to be positive about the future of the business travel sector, as seen in our interview with co-founder Avi Meir last month. Their recent acquisition Albatross was founded just earlier this year, and have built an industry-leading, developer-centric travel risk management API. TravelCare also covers guidance around other potential issues, including strikes, closures and planned protests. We were blown away by what Raphael and his team have built and are delighted to have them joining the TravelPerk team as part of our first ever acquisition.” Raphael Daverio, CEO and founder of Albatross, added: “At the core, Albatross and TravelPerk share the same fundamental belief that travel applications can still create delightful, safe travel experiences for their users despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Joining forces with TravelPerk will help us accelerate our product innovation and growth globally and ultimately gets us closer to our vision of bringing disruptive travel risk management tools to businesses of every size.
