Mews, a hotel property management platform just closed a $7M in a Series A round that was led by Notion.vc Capital, followed by HenQ and Thayer Ventures.
The platform was founded back in 2012 by entrepreneur and ex-hotelier Richard Valtr. Mews basically automates check-ins and payments, in addition to covering booking management and staff training. It is designed to be an open platform that allows other tools and apps to connect through its API.
According to Richard, Mews’ aims to help hotels and hostels automate their operations so they can focus on their guests. “We want to build the nervous system for hotels that all apps and tools for both guests and hosts can be plugged into. Until recently hoteliers were forced to rely upon a closed one-stop-shop PMS offered up by incumbent players who have held a luddite attitude towards the hospitality industry for years,” he said.
Mews will be using the funding to accelerate its business and open new offices around the world to better support their global customer base.
