SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mindtrip, the AI-powered travel platform helping people experience personalized travel differently, today announced new investments from Capital One Ventures and United Airlines Ventures. Joining Mindtrip’s existing investors including Amex Ventures, Costanoa Ventures, and Forerunner Ventures, the new investments from leading travel and financial innovators underscore a growing industry conviction in Mindtrip’s vision for the future of AI-powered travel.

“We started Mindtrip with a vision to turn travel inspiration into action, and the response from both the industry and travelers has been extraordinary,” said Andy Moss, co-founder and CEO of Mindtrip. “Whether helping travelers uncover hidden gems or giving destinations and hotels new ways to engage their guests, Mindtrip is redefining how travel is planned and experienced.”

“Mindtrip is setting the bar for travel planning with its unique ability to harness AI that creates interactive itineraries in a matter of seconds,” said Nathan Krishnamurthy, Partner, Capital One Ventures. “Strong engagement from travelers can be predictors of retention and we find Mindtrip’s early traction encouraging. We value new ways to unlock possibilities for the modern explorer and look forward to Mindtrip’s continued innovation in the travel space.”

“Mindtrip’s team has deep domain expertise, and they’re building something that works for both consumers and commercial operators, as evidenced by their growing list of high-profile commercial agreements,” said UAV Managing Partner Mukul Hariharan. “That’s the kind of framework that creates long-term value.”

The new investments follows a milestone quarter for Mindtrip, highlighted by several major product launches:

Mindtrip for Hotels: A newly introduced B2B suite designed to help hotel properties turn their inspirational website content and concierge expertise into fully customized trip plans. With Mindtrip for Hotels, properties can personalize every guest journey even before guests arrive through tailored recommendations on local attractions, events, activities, and dining, both on-property and nearby. The platform also helps hotels answer consumers’ questions instantly and during off-hours, ensuring every stay is seamless. By automating routine inquiries, hotels can elevate the personal touch of their staff, differentiate themselves from competitors, and even drive extended stays.

“As a small hospitality team, we needed an AI partner that was both powerful and practical,” said Leslie Inlow, Director of Marketing at The Landsby. “Mindtrip stood out as the most intuitive platform we tested, and getting it live only took a few weeks. It goes far beyond a chatbot, bringing concierge-level trip planning to our website and easing front-desk volume. As we look toward the future of hospitality, this is exactly the partner we want by our side.”

Mindtrip’s New Events Feature: Mindtrip is expanding beyond travel into everyday experiences by helping users discover what’s happening around them, anywhere, anytime. With this new feature, vacationers, business travelers, and locals can now stay up to date on concerts, festivals, theater openings, farmers markets, art walks, and more. Consumers can add events to existing itineraries, view them on a map, share with friends, and book instantly when applicable, ensuring users never miss what matters most.

New In-App Inspiration Tools: Mindtrip’s latest in-app features place inspiration at the center of trip planning. Travelers can now capture inspiration from virtually anywhere – articles, Instagram posts, TikTok videos, YouTube videos, Google Pins – and share it directly to the Mindtrip app. Like SMS and Slack, Mindtrip appears as an instant share option. The app automatically extracts key details and allows users to ask questions, save places into collections, or add them to an existing trip.

Since launch, Mindtrip has gained global attention for its ability to merge more than 11 million points of interest with insights from over 40,000 local travel guides, delivering personalized, real-time travel recommendations to users around the world. The company has grown its customer audience by more than 10X and has also partnered with over 35 destinations. These include: national tourism boards like Brand USA, The British Virgin Islands and Visit Costa Rica; to U.S. territories like Discover Puerto Rico and The Islands of the Bahamas; state organizations like Visit California and Travel Nevada; regional destination management organizations (DMO) like The Outer Banks Visitors Bureau and See Monterey; and vibrant city destinations like Visit Myrtle Beach, New Orleans & Company and Visit Truckee-Tahoe.
