A note from the founders on our $500K pre-seed raise

Guestara raises $500K in pre-seed funding to redefine hospitality with AI-driven guest management solutions. Discover how we streamline hotel operations and enhance guest experiences.

1/20/2025

We are beyond thrilled to announce that Guestara has secured $500K in pre-seed funding this December, a pivotal step in our journey to redefine the hospitality industry through AI-powered innovation. This achievement is a testament to the trust and belief of our investors, customers, and dedicated team in the transformative potential of Guestara.

Guestara was born out of a deep understanding of the challenges hoteliers face. As the hospitality industry evolves, operational inefficiencies and fragmented guest experiences remain persistent hurdles. We envisioned a solution that not only addresses these pain points but also elevates the industry to new heights. Guestara’s AI-driven platform centralizes operations, simplifies workflows, and personalizes guest interactions—empowering hotels, resorts, and short-term rentals to focus on delivering unforgettable stays.

This pre-seed round was led by Sanjay Ghare, a seasoned travel and hospitality tech entrepreneur, alongside a group of visionary investors. Their unwavering support reflects their confidence in Guestara’s vision to become the industry’s best AI manager. The capital raised will enable us to scale operations, expanding globally to onboard 2 million rooms across diverse markets. It will accelerate product development, enhancing AI capabilities and introducing new features to better serve our customers. It will also foster innovation by providing an open API to empower hoteliers and developers to build custom solutions, fostering creativity and unlocking new revenue streams.

With this funding, we are poised to set a new standard in hospitality tech—one that blends cutting-edge technology with a people-first approach. Our roadmap includes unifying the guest journey from booking to post-checkout and offering tailored solutions that cater to the unique needs of every property.

To our investors, thank you for believing in our vision and fueling our mission. To our customers and beta clients, your trust inspires us to keep innovating and delivering excellence. And to the Guestara team, your passion and dedication are the driving force behind our success.

If you’re a hotelier ready to transform your operations and guest experiences, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey. Reach out to us at care@guestara.com or schedule a call

Here’s to shaping the future of hospitality together, one innovation at a time.

With heartfelt gratitude,
