The round was led by Ventech, with participation from Sake Bosch, Caesar, and Business Angels. In August 2024, YGO raised €2.5 million in funding led by GetAway Group. YGO's platform connects travel companies with airlines, hotels, and tour operators, enabling them to book inventory directly through AI agents like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. The company's content enrichment product automatically generates verified, structured hotel data, while its Hotel Q&A product allows travelers to ask questions in real-time and receive answers in their own language. YGO's AI Distribution product makes travel companies' hotel portfolios accessible and bookable through AI agents. Since launching in 2023, YGO has processed over €15 million in bookings and grown its recurring ARR to seven figures within six months. With the new capital, the company plans to scale its go-to-market and sales operations, expand its customer base beyond the DACH region, and become the AI infrastructure layer connecting the travel industry to AI agents.",
