Triptease, a travel SaaS startup which helps hotels to get more direct bookings and bring hospitality online, has raised  $4m of additional funding from its investors BGF and Notion Capital, taking the total amount raised since last year to $13m.

Triptease provides a data-driven software platform to hotels looking to increase their online conversion rate in the face of intense competition from online travel agencies (OTAs). Hotels around the world are anxious to avoid the large commissions paid to OTAs but need tools to make sure that travellers complete bookings through their website.
