Hot 25 Startups 2020: Journera

Journera enables travel companies to leverage their data to create a more seamless experience.

The technology platform uses a secure GXR (Global Experience Record) and a unique data permissions architecture that allows for a more accurate depiction of the traveler’s journey in real time.

The company also boasts a team with seasoned travel industry professionals, including CEO Jeff Katz (founding CEO of Orbitz Worldwide and CEO of Swissair).

Goals for 2020

Now that we have developed our Journera platform and begun work with many of the world’s most important travel brands, we are focused on further growing our partner network by adding a few more significant global brands.

"We are also beginning to build up the thousands of small brands who need to be part of the seamless travel ecosystem that most travelers touch - from parking, to luggage, to livery, dining, independent hotels and so much more."

"We are also opening up what we call the “last mile” on our first strategic use-cases with major brands. The 'air to hotel handoff' is a big part of this effort.

"This is a complex process that can have a huge impact. The reality is that most customers who travel by air touch the lodging industry and vice versa, so the opportunities for making travel easier, smarter, and more personalized are limitless."
