Having become a benchmark brand in sustainable tourism, EvaneosEvaneosEvaneos is a marketplace that connects travelers with local agencies, "for creating unique, authentic trips tailored to individual needs," explains Eric la Bonnardière.
The startup, founded in 2009, has raised a total of 100 million euros since its inception, including 70 million in 2018.
More than 600 agencies in 160 destinations and 500,000 customers have booked trips through its platform since its inception.
"More than 40% of travelers book with us again in the years following their first trip," adds the co-founder.
Key discussion points for this meeting reserved for students and startups from the incubator and accelerator:
✔ Seed funding in the early 2010s, at a time when sustainable tourism was less popular?
✔ What was the journey to achieve this Marketplace model?
✔ The Covid crisis as a catalyst to transform their offering & strengthen their business model?
✔ Managing a network of partner agencies spread across the globe, in the midst of a pandemic
✔ Profitability in 2022, with a strengthened business model and new European markets in sight.
