Aug 2019Series CAsia Partners Fund Management (lead); Rakuten Capital; Qiming Venture Partners; Mirae Asset-Naver Asia Growth Fund$70MRedDoorz is Southeast Asia's leading hotel management and booking platform, offering budget accommodation across key business and tourist destinations in the region. Founded in 2015 by Amit Saberwal and Asheesh Saxena, the company operates in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines, with a focus on scaling affordable travel accommodations through its technology-enabled platform. In August 2019, RedDoorz announced the first close of its Series C funding round, raising $70 million led by Asia Partners, a Singapore-based growth equity firm founded by executives with track records at major tech companies including Sea, Naspers, and Bukalapak. Rakuten Capital and Mirae Asset-Naver Asia Growth Fund also joined the round, alongside existing investors Qiming Venture Partners and the International Finance Corporation. This Series C investment followed RedDoorz's Series B round of $45 million in April 2019, bringing total capital raised to approximately $140 million since the company's launch. The company planned to deploy the new capital to launch in additional Southeast Asian markets, scale technology and customer experience initiatives, expand marketing and team headcount, and build a second engineering hub in Vietnam to complement its existing tech hub in India. RedDoorz was expanding its hotel staff and quality training programs across its properties and had grown to employ approximately 10,000 people across the region through its hotel partners, with its India tech hub alone staffing over 60 engineers and product specialists.
Mar 2019Series BQiming Venture Partners (lead); MNC Asia Holding; Susquehanna International Group; International Finance Corporation; Hendale Capital; Jungle Ventures$45MRedDoorz is a Singapore-based tech hospitality company operating a budget hotel management and booking platform across Southeast Asia, including more than 80 cities in Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, managing over 1,200 budget hotels and properties. The company raised $45 million in a Series B funding round in July 2019, led by Qiming Venture Partners alongside Jungle Ventures and its limited partners, with participation from new investor MNC Group (Indonesia's leading media company) and existing backers Hendale Capital, International Finance Corporation, Susquehanna International Group, and others. Funds were earmarked for aggressive growth strategies to expand its lead in the region's affordable hospitality segment. At the time of the round, RedDoorz reported exponential growth, achieving 500,000 occupied room nights in July 2019 with five times year-on-year growth, and was on track to reach one million occupied room nights per month by year-end 2019, marking an industry-first in Southeast Asia's travel and hospitality category. Founder and CEO Amit Saberwal highlighted the company's role in empowering local hotel owners with technology for distribution, pricing, marketing, and customer experience while setting new benchmarks in affordable standardized accommodations. Qiming Venture Partners' partner Helen Wong drew parallels to China's budget hotel chains from 15 years prior, citing RedDoorz's strong execution in user acquisition, technology, and customer service, positioning it to benefit from rising online travel penetration with its extensive hotel network. The investment occurred amid competition from Oyo, Southeast Asia's dominant budget accommodation player, with RedDoorz focusing steadily on regional expansion rather than global aggression. A subsequent Series C round of $70 million followed in 2020, led by Asia Partners with participation from Qiming and IFC, for further market expansion, product development, and technology enhancements.

This round preceded a pre-Series B of $11 million from existing and new investors to support regional expansion and a new lease model.
