Guesty reported astonishing five-fold revenue growth over the last three years and an estimated ARR of $100 million as of the round, with $4 billion in deals processed through its platform. The funding will accelerate global expansion through acquisitions and organic growth, enhance its enterprise-level platform for medium-term rentals, corporate housing, and serviced stays, and invest in AI capabilities for first-to-market features. The company expects to turn profitable in 2024 and is targeting an IPO in 2025, while consolidating the market and growing its footprint in regions like the US, Europe (France, Germany, Spain), and Australia. KKR partners Stephen Shanley and Lauriane Requena, along with Inovia's Dennis Kavelman, joined Guesty's board post-investment. Guesty, with roots in Israel and headquartered in New York, now has 15 offices and over 750 employees worldwide. The investment aligns with the booming $277 billion STR industry and post-COVID travel rebound projected to hit $11.1 trillion in global tourism sales for 2024. |
