VCs and Airbnb back $60m series-C round for Tiqets
Prior lead investors Investion and HPE Growth Capital, and new backer Airbnb, have invested $60m in a series-C round for Netherlands-based booking platform Tiqets.

Around a year ago, lead investor HPE together with Capital Mills invested $23m in Tiqets, with participation from existing shareholders. According to a statement, the company was intending to use the fresh capital to boost its technology development.
