SAN DIEGO, June 22, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudbeds, a leading provider of hospitality management software for independent properties (hotels, hostels, inns, beds and breakfasts, campgrounds, vacation rentals, and more), today announced it has completed an oversubscribed $9+ million Series B financing round. Cloudbeds first institutional round was led by PeakSpan Capital, and includes additional investment from Nashville Capital, Cultivation Capital, ClearVision Equity, and TTCER Partners. The financing follows last years Series A round of $3.14 million, bringing the total investment to date to $20 million.
Cloudbeds brings the latest innovations in software to the hospitality industry - they are laser focused on championing the needs of independent hoteliers and setting the standard for a fully integrated, best-in-class platform, said Phil Dur, Managing Partner and Co-Founder at PeakSpan Capital. Matt Melymuka, Vice President and Co-Founder of PeakSpan added, Great things happen when you combine focus with a truly visionary and excellent management team.

Founded in late 2012, Cloudbeds now has 102 employees worldwide with offices in San Diego, São Paulo, and Dublin. Their software now services tens of thousands of properties in 120+ countries. Cloudbeds develops software that is designed to help independent property owners and operators become more competitive by offering an integrated system that includes property management, channel management, and a commission-free booking engine. By offering everything in one software suite, Cloudbeds helps properties maximize occupancy while minimizing time spent on administrative tasks. In turn, this gives their clients more time to spend with their guests. In addition to offering a full software suite, the Cloudbeds channel manager, myallocator, is one of the most popular standalone channel management solutions and is used by thousands of properties. We have experienced incredible success over the last few years. Cloudbeds software is used by everyone, from boutique hotels to adventure hostels, in every part of the world. We are fueling the growth of travel businesses worldwide and helping millions of people experience all the world has to offer, said Adam Harris, CEO of Cloudbeds.
