Our take

Hopper is a mobile application that uses big data to predict and analyse airfare and accommodation prices, delivering savings to users. The company was created to make booking travel faster, easier, and more transparent by leveraging the power that comes from combining large amounts of data with machine learning.

As well as its booking platform, the company also has a B2B offering called HTS (Hopper Technology Solutions), which enables travel providers to integrate Hopper's travel, fintech and eCommerce products. Major partners of this initiative include Marriott, Kayak and Capital One.

Lately, the company has focussed on innovation and international expansion, with the intent to grow its operating margins. It has not been unaffected by the economic landscape, and made a round of lay-offs in 2023, although this appears to be part of a wider move towards profitability rather than a sign of trouble.
