Nezasa Closes Seed Investment Round

Nezasa provides a convenient platform for individual travelers that combines the service of a travel agency with the immediate availability and price structure of an online portal. Starting with suggested routes put together by destination experts, customers can easily adjust their travel itineraries to their liking and book everything - including hotels, transfers, activities, etc. - all in one place. Nezasa partners with highquality tour operators from destination countries to provide an offering that combines the possibility for individual adjustments with simplicity of planning and the peace of mind that the whole travel experience is supported by a local tour operator.

After starting with a China-based offering in May, Nezasa is increasingly covering other areas of Asia. Initial offerings in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand are already on the website and more is to come soon. In addition to more generic offerings for individual travelers, there are also special offerings for avid golfers as well as short leisure trips from Shanghai for people primarily travelling for business purposes.

Participating in Nezasa’s seed investment round are - among other business angels - Paul Sevinç and Myke Näef, the founders of the leading online scheduling service Doodle, and Gregory Gerhardt, founder of Amazee Labs and Amazee Metrics. They all have an impressive track record as entrepreneurs and provide valuable expertise to Nezasa. Paul Sevinç has also joined Nezasa’s board of directors along with Benno Iten, an experienced travel industry insider.

Nezasa has developed a service that is unique in today’s market. The new funds allow Nezasa to continue to extend its offering and to start developing its markets. The Nezasa team not only welcomes the financial strength resulting from this investment, but also the quality of the group of people that has expressed their faith in Nezasa through this investment and through taking a board seat.

“We’re very delighted to welcome such a knowledgeable and experienced group of individuals on board,” said Nezasa’s CEO and co-founder Manuel Hilty. “This will substantially boost our mission of improving the way people plan and book individual travels.”
