Peek, the US-based excursion and activity booking platform backed by talent agency CAA, has secured $10m in series A funding from a range of private investors, Fortune reported on Thursday.
The round’s participants included David Bonderman, the founder of private equity firm TPG; Ray Lane, partner emeritus at venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers; Pete Flint, founder of real estate platform Trulia; and Gigi Pritzker and Michael Pucker, owners of the Hyatt Hotels chain.
Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of internet technology conglomerate Alphabet, Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey and Carl Sparks, former president and CEO of online travel agency Travelocity, also took part, according to TechCrunch.
Founded in 2012, Peek operates a curated, mobile-focused excursion booking service that includes reviews for each activity, taking a cut from tour operators for each customer. It has also signed an agreement with Yelp that will allow events to be booked through the listings and reviews platform.
Co-founder and CEO Ruzwana Bashir told Fortune the company has quadrupled its bookings since January this year, and the round will enable it to open a second office.
Peek has now raised $18m in total, with CAA having participated in a $500,000 round in 2013 through its corporate venturing unit, CAA Ventures, according to VC deals database CrunchBase.
Other past investors in Peek include Montage Ventures, SV Angel, Khosla Ventures, Innovation Endeavors and angel investors Brad Gerstner and Jeff Fluhr.
