The Series B round was led by Taiwania Capital to support international expansion and platform development.
"We have truly global goals with Daytrip and it is so satisfying to see the brand’s expanding footprint and positive impact as we are now available in more than 110 countries worldwide. Daytrip started with the idea that people want more than a transfer, they want an experience when going places and we are excited that our customers are choosing us for this reason and that our new investor, Taiwania Capital, believes in our product and supports us as we open the platform to millions of travelers around the world."
The funding round was led by company founder James Dickson alongside high net worth investors and The FSE Group.
"We are thrilled to have completed this funding round following our successful MBO. Our wholesale division is experiencing an unprecedented level of growth, and we’re very pleased to have welcomed several new 5-star hotels to our client base in recent months. With Andy Phillips appointed as CEO, and David Read as Chairman, we believe we now have the best possible platform to scale the business."
Gresham House Ventures backed the round to support product development and go to market scaling.
"Coming off the back of a very strong year of financial growth and strategic transition under Jim's excellent leadership, we believe these additional strategic steps in taking further investment, and making key new appointments will position Patchworks for even stronger growth in 2024."
The funding round was led by Dawn Capital with participation from Accel, LocalGlobe, and Bessemer Venture Partners.
"In an era when everyone is used to ordering goods and services from a meal to a car ride at the push of a button, it is unacceptable how difficult wholesale buying can be for small and medium-sized businesses. Qogita was founded with a mission to transform procurement and provide the buying power and privileges of a global chain to every ambitious e-commerce platform or mid-sized store. Over the past two years, we’ve been quietly building in service of our buyer and seller customers, and have made great strides so far, but there is of course still more work to be done. We’re delighted to be working with an elite group of visionary investors to revolutionize wholesale procurement."
