Zaplar
Zaplar is a Stockholm-based, Y Combinator (S26) startup building an AI-native operating system for hotels and event venues. Instead of stitching together the legacy hotel stack - PMS, POS, booking engine, CRS, RMS and MICE tools - Zaplar consolidates them into one platform where AI agents handle bookings, guest messaging, RFPs, event planning and follow-ups. Staff review and approve the agents' suggested actions, so hoteliers keep control while spending less time in front of a screen.
AVISIO
AVISIO was a Vienna-based hospitality-tech startup that built a cloud, AI-assisted procurement and inventory platform for independent hotels and restaurants. Founded in 2019 by Matthias Depenbusch and Johannes Ossanna, it integrated with POS and PMS systems to automate stocktaking, compare supplier prices in real time, and suggest order quantities from booking data - promising roughly 10% lower purchasing costs and less waste. It raised over EUR 2 million from backers including Falkensteiner Ventures and Next Floor Ventures before filing for insolvency in April 2023.
Cloudbeds
Cloudbeds is a San Diego-based hospitality management platform that gives independent hotels, hostels, vacation rentals, and lodging groups a single cloud system to run reservations, distribution, payments, revenue management, and guest communication. Founded in 2012 by Adam Harris and Richard Castle, the fully remote company replaces the tangle of disconnected legacy tools that property owners juggle, serving tens of thousands of properties across roughly 150 countries and, more recently, layering in AI through its Cloudbeds Intelligence and Signals products.
