We feel fortunate to lead this investment round and are looking forward to helping the company capitalize on its progress to date.”

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.
