Prague, Czech Republic-based global travel platform providing private door-to-door car transfers, DayTrip closed Series B investment with USD 10 million funding. The company announced the investment on January 23, 2023. Taiwania Capital led the financing for the company. Existing investors such as Euroventures, J&T Ventures and N1 joined in the funding.
Purpose of financing for DayTrip
With the latest funding round, DayTrip seeks to support the company in further building the platform. It has plans to expand its operations in new countries including the United States. Meanwhile, the company intends to establish strategic partnerships with key industry leaders.
What the company’s official has to add
Tomáš Turek, Co-Founder and CEO of Daytrip, said, “We have truly global goals with Daytrip and it is so satisfying to see the brand’s expanding footprint and positive impact as we are now available in more than 110 countries worldwide. Daytrip started with the idea that people want more than a transfer, they want an experience when going places and we are excited that our customers are choosing us for this reason and that our new investor, Taiwania Capital, believes in our product and supports us as we open the platform to millions of travellers around the world.”
Markéta Bláhová, Co-Founder and COO of Daytrip, further said, “Traveling is picking up again and in fact, data show that American travellers are about to take as many, or even more international trips in 2024 compared to last year. People are looking to explore countries they were not able to travel to during the pandemic; they are more willing to spend their money on unique travel experiences and immerse themselves in the local cultures. And Daytrip is ready to help them achieve that.”

Mitch Yang, Managing Partner at Taiwania Capital, further said, “Daytrip’s innovative platform boasts optional sightseeing stops, enabling travellers to explore captivating destinations along their route, making every journey an adventure.
