Jurny Reports Record Growth, Despite Pandemic

Los Angeles-based hospitality technology startup Jurny--which is backed by Okapi Venture Capital and Mucker Capital--says it has seen record growth, despite the pandemic and the way it has impacted the hospitality industry. According to the startup, it saw 400% year-over-year growth in 2020, spurred by interest in its contactless check-in and entry technology. Jurny connects consumers with high-end branded suites and apartments owned by independent property and hotel owners for short-term stays. The company, founded by Luca Zambello and David Phillips, says its technology is now being used by 500 units across eight cities, with more than 70,000 guests served. The startup raised $2.75M in seed funding last June.
