TCV leads $50m round for TourRadar
A group of VC backers led by TCV has provided Austrian online travel agency TourRadar with a $50m round of funding.
Existing backers Cherry Ventures, Endeit Capital, Hoxton Ventures and Speedinvest also took part in the series-C.
Austrian early-stage VC Speedinvest backed TourRadar in its seed rounds, twice investing less than $500,000 in June 2013 and May 2014. Subsequently, Hoxton and Cherry led the company's €6m series-A in May 2016, which Speedinvest also took part in. In October last year, Endeit Capital led a $10m series-B funding round for the Vienna-based online tour marketplace. Existing investors Cherry Ventures and Hoxton Ventures also took part in the round.
TourRadar intends to use the series-C funding to expand its team globally and will also be investing in its technology platform.
Erik Blachford, a venture partner at TCV, has joined TourRadar's supervisory board following the round.
