Byway, a startup focused on enabling flight-free travel, has raised £5
million in an oversubscribed Series A round.
The round was led by Heartcore Capital, with participation from Eka
Ventures and several individuals who had invested in the company in the past.
Byway said it will use the funding to accelerate development of its
technology, JourneyAI, which it said is the world’s first completely flight-free
holiday planner. The system combines train, boat and bus transportation and accommodation
options with destination content to create multi-stop, personalized trips that take
travelers away from areas that are traditionally overcrowded with tourists.
