WeRoad Raises $58 Million Airbnb-Led Funding to Bring Group Travel Platform to the U.S.

WeRoad, the Milan-based group travel startup, has raised $58 million in a Series C round led by Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB). The funding, announced May 27, 2026, brings total capital to approximately $100 million and will finance the company’s first expansion outside Europe into the United States, beginning with Austin. The platform organizes trips for millennials and Gen Z travelers grouped by shared interests and age, using coordinators rather than traditional guides. It generated €130 million in revenue in 2025, up 30% year-over-year, and served more than 100,000 travelers. WeRoad also operates WeMeet, a local events app that hosted 50,000 attendees in 2025 across 35 cities. The U.S. rollout will start in Austin with leader recruitment and community events, then expand to other cities throughout 2026. Since launching in 2017, WeRoad has organized travel for over 300,000 customers across more than 1,000 itineraries.
