🛫 We’re so excited to announce we’ve led Unravel’s $7M Series A! 🌍

Founded by experienced AI operators and travellers Vijay Anand, Abhimanyu Dasgupta and Sunny Swetank, Unravel is on a mission to revolutionise the way we discover and book travel, through creator-driven content and AI.

The product’s impact on its customers is really impressive and we’re expecting this to continue as Unravel expands across Europe. This round is supported by Active Partners, Slingshot Ventures, and Olivier Bisserier, with participation from existing investors Antler, Nodes Ventures, The Players Fund and Upscalers, reaffirming confidence in the vision.

Huge congratulations to the Unravel team! We’re thrilled to welcome you to the Nauta portfolio and look forward to supporting you along the journey.

🎥 This short Unravel-style films tells you more about the vision, the impact they’re making, and why investors are on board.

Had a very wholesome & fun evening hosting my first VC Paint & Sip in our Nauta office this week. After some sunset drinks on the terrace, we got our aprons on and tried our hand at painting portraits of each other!

Final results are questionable, but at least gave us a lot of laughs. Thank you to all the investors who came and indulged me on this (and for not getting offended by your portraits!!). Maybe we need an art lesson before the next...
