Tryp.com, the Copenhagen-founded AI packaging platform behind WIZZ Holidays, has closed a €1.9 million (£1.6 million) funding round to sell its multimodal engine to more travel brands and expand beyond Europe into Asia and the Americas.

Point Capital Partners led the round, with Iberis Capital and angel investors participating. The deal takes total funds raised to €5.9 million (just over £5 million).

The company's pitch targets a specific gap in airline ancillary revenue: carriers hold the flight inventory and the customer relationships but lack the technology to convert a single ticket into a packaged trip assembled in seconds. WIZZ Holidays, Wizz Air's holiday platform, is the reference case. Tryp.com builds the multi-city, multimodal itineraries — flights, trains, buses and ferries — while its licensed Portuguese agency, Tryp.com Lda, sells and operates the packages.

"Airlines already have the flights and the customers. What they lack is technology that turns one ticket into a complete trip, built in seconds," said co-founder and CEO André Rangel de Sousa. "That is what we build. WIZZ Holidays shows our engine working at airline scale, and this round lets us bring it to more partners while our own platform keeps growing past 10 million users."

The numbers behind the round

Tryp.com currently sells around 14,000 tickets a month across its channels. Sales are up fourfold this year, and revenue has more than tripled, according to the company. Its own consumer platform has passed 10 million users since launch and now reaches roughly 1 million users a month — figures Iberis Capital says reflect a user base that has more than tripled since it led the previous round.

Half of all bookings now come from travellers who never typed a search and bought directly from the platform's recommendations. The company claims its personalisation model almost triples the click rate on suggested trips after just four user interactions. Recent releases include personalised trip suggestions and transfers connecting airports, stations and hotels across every itinerary leg.

These are company-reported figures rather than audited results, and Tryp.com has not disclosed absolute revenue. But the direction of travel matters for sellers of travel: a distribution model where AI recommendations, not search boxes, drive half of conversions changes how packages are merchandised — and shifts the technology bar for any carrier or operator building a holidays arm.

Investors bet on airline partnerships

Pedro Ceia, Investment Manager at Point Capital Partners, framed the thesis around the Wizz Air deal and the budget multi-stop segment. "Tryp.com carves a unique niche at the intersection of travel search and booking, with a focus on flexible, budget-conscious travellers seeking complex, multi-stop journeys," he said. "With over 10 million users, its technology has already secured a strategic partnership with Wizz Air, a collaboration set to accelerate its growth. The company is led by an A-player founding team that has consistently executed on its vision."

Iberis Capital, which led Tryp.com's previous round, reinvested on commercial evidence. "This team builds complex travel technology in a very capital-efficient way," said Partner João Henriques. "Since then, the company has demonstrated the ability to deliver commercially: it has more than tripled its user base and become the technology partner for a major European airline's holiday platform. Investing again was an easy decision."

What comes next

Tryp.com will use the funding in three directions: licensing the platform to more travel brands, geographic expansion into Asia and the Americas, and — before the end of 2026 — a launch of experiences and activity-led trips. In that model, the traveller selects what they want to do, and the engine constructs the entire journey around the activity rather than the flight.

For airlines weighing whether to build, buy or partner on holiday packaging, and for tour operators and OTAs competing with airline-backed packages, the Wizz Air deployment offers the first at-scale proof point. Expect the licensing pitch to intensify as Tryp.com puts its new capital to work on additional carrier partnerships across and beyond Europe.
