The business raised €600,000 at the end of 2015 and a similar amount earlier this year. Mathe told tnooz that the funding would help Adrenaline Hunter’s global aspirations in a B2B and B2C context. It is working on a booking management tool for suppliers to manage their presence on the platform, taking Airbnb’s tools for hosts as its inspiration. The tool is provisionally slated to launch mid-2018. Mathe also said that the business is planning to open an office in Asia-Pacific, with various locations under consideration. “Around 35% of customers are in France, but we have bookings from the US, Australia and South Africa so we need to be able to offer support 24/7.” The latest round had been led by BPIFrance, which has a dedicated tourism fund, and Tengelmann Ventures.
