A new startup is aiming to provide a booking portal for travel sites that want to skip costs on building their own. Curacity, which is founded by EveryDay Health cofounder Michael Keriakos, has raised USD1.4 Million in its seed round to make that happen.
Keriakos shared to TechCrunch about the idea behind the startup, “I booked a trip a few years ago and used a specific travel guide, which catalyzed the inspiration for pretty much everything,” saiid Keriakos. “But I booked through one of the travel sites and realized that the media company that had given me all those great ideas was getting pennies on the dollar, while the travel site was making hundreds.”
The New York City-based startup raised its funds from Greycroft Partners, with participation of SBNY (formerly Softbank Capital NY), Pinnacle Investment and Third Point capital, PEHub reports. With the USD750K earlier raised by Curacity, it has since gained an aggregrate of USD2.175 in total capital.
