Canary Technologies, a leader in hotel guest management technology, recently announced it has closed an $80 million Series D round of funding to advance the company’s global expansion as a leader in hospitality AI. Brighton Park Capital led the round, with participation from existing investors: Insight Partners, F-Prime Capital, Thayer Ventures, Y Combinator, and Commerce Ventures. This latest investment brings Canary’s valuation to about $600 million.
This funding round follows a $50 million Series C raise announced about a year ago and caps off an impressive year of growth, marked by major partnerships with Best Western, Aimbridge Hospitality, Marriott, Wyndham, TUI Hotels & Resorts, and others. Plus, Canary unveiled the launch of new cutting-edge AI products, including AI Voice and Webchat. As global demand for AI-powered guest engagement solutions continues to rise, Canary will use the funding to accelerate its rapid expansion.
Launched in 2018 by lifelong friends and hospitality experts Harman Singh Narula and SJ Sawhney, Canary Technologies was born out of a shared vision: to create intuitive, guest-centric technology that redefines the hospitality experience.
