Travel and entertainment technology company Pollen has raised $150m (\u20ac140m\/\u00a3118m) in a Series C funding round.<\/p>\n
Pollen was founded in 2014 and curates and delivers experiences across the globe, using data and customer insights. It was founded by two brothers, Callum and Liam Negus-Fancey, who use the data to create experiences exclusive to Pollen, as well as parenting with music festivals and brands to sell their experiences.<\/p>\n
The company has already created travel experiences for artists such as Justin Bieber, Duran Duran and J Balvin. Pollen also co-created Neon with J Balvin, an experience to celebrate Latin culture.<\/p>\n
Pollen creates experiences with hotels, venues, restaurants and nightclubs as well as featuring activities such as scuba diving, sailing and biking.<\/p>\n
According to Pollen, the Series C funding comes after the company witnessed sales increase by more than 300% relative to pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n
Co-founder and chief executive Callum Negus-Fancey said: \u201cPeople want personalised travel experiences built around what they are passionate about. And Pollen is at the forefront of this demand; we use our proprietary data and customer insights to build one-of-a-kind travel experiences with the world\u2019s biggest talent and brands in the best destinations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen people look back after 10 years, and think about their top five memories, we want them to feel like Pollen was responsible for three of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
