The Birmingham-based accessible travel company has raised £6.5m in a Series A round led by Beringea.
"We’re thrilled to announce our £6.5m Series A raise, marking a major milestone in what’s set to be a momentous year for Limitless Travel. This investment is not only a game-changer for our business, but also for disability travel as a whole. It will allow us to further enhance the quality and range of our holidays, expand into new products and destinations, and accelerate our international growth. Accessible travel should never be an afterthought, it’s one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors in the industry. DIsabled travellers, and their families and companions deserve nothing but the best, and that is what Limitless provides. With the support of our investors, we’re now in the strongest position yet to lead the charge and show the world the true power of disability travel."
Redrice Ventures and Active Partners led the seed round alongside backing from London Marathon Events and other prominent sports investors.
"We can’t wait to show the 500m existing global runners, and the thousands of people that start running every day, the power of Coopah. Securing these funds and bringing this group of high quality investors on board is giving us the opportunity to invest in new growth channels which will put Coopah in front of the global running world. Bringing Gareth on board to spearhead this growth effort is an incredibly exciting moment for the business. His passion for our mission and his wealth of knowledge on how to scale a consumer sports app make him a fantastic addition to Coopah’s leadership."
The investment round was co-led by Venrex and Redrice Ventures to support platform expansion.
"Lovetovisit has gone from strength to strength this year and we’re incredibly proud to have such esteemed investors on board. Building the business and hitting these milestones alongside my sister is a dream. We each bring unique strengths to the team, but we share a passion for supporting the many amazing events, attractions and experiences in the UK to digitise and scale. There are so many weird, wonderful and iconic things to do in this country, we just need to make it easier for people to find, explore and book them. Our goal is to be the go-to platform for booking memorable things to do and this raise is a big step towards achieving that mission."
The online ski tour operator has raised £5.6m from Mercia Ventures and Active Partners to support platform development and team growth.
"The launch of Heidi was borne out of our own frustrations as keen skiers who wanted to get away to the slopes but at a time and date to suit our own schedules. Having launched the company with limited investment and built it to its current size, we are now all set to take it to the next level. Our aim is to more than double in size in the next few years and become one of the top two ski travel operators."
