About us:
Stay Wanderful is powering the next generation of travel through our industry leading mix of traveller incentives and behavioral insights. Working with an ever growing network of hotels, Stay Wanderful's incentive engine surfaces relevant, targeted, and exclusive rewards to guests who book directly on the hotel website. To date, we have incentivized over $1 billion of hotel transactions with an impressive 12 million+ impressions per month. Grounded in rich behavioral and consumer intent data gathered by our platform, the SW reward personalization engine learns from consumer interaction and reward selection to serve customized reward recommendations, ultimately driving a personalized experience for travellers and driving incremental revenue for our hotel clients. Additionally our merchant partners have demonstrated business growth from our network, tapping into the high-spending travel consumer segment.
While our utmost goal is incremental revenue for our clients, we find ourselves sitting on top of consumer insight data capable of providing deep understanding of the traveller persona. We can segment this data by geographics, demographics, as well as spending habits, and are in early stages of exposing these insights via our B2B analytics platform.
It’s an exciting time for our growing team as we’ve raised a strong fundraising round, have a solid technology team, have achieved transformative results for our hotel clients and now are just looking to grow exponentially.The management team has significant domain expertise in hospitality, analytics, and machine learning, and are alumni of MIT, Harvard Business School, and Columbia University. Investors include hotel owners and tech investors.
