Our take

Over 25 million people from over 105 different cities have purchased a ticket for something on Headout, the mobile-first travel experience and activity platform. It’s a digital marketplace where users can browse tickets to leisure activities in their area, and providers can in turn get help filling last-minute slots.

Unlike some travel and hospitality businesses, Headout has already bounced back and surpassed its pre-pandemic revenue (3.1 Yx oY) and growth (3.2 x YoY) levels. The key was to focus on domestic travel, a new vertical it intends to expand in future with new funding on the table. It’s also looking to aggressively grow its footprint to add hundreds of new cities over the coming years, having doubled its business team in 2023.

Headout is in a very comfortable position to do so: every transaction it carries out is profitable, and there’s plenty of runway on its current funding. This means the team can focus on building out new features for both users and providers. The quality of its product will be its key advantage over Airbnb, which has for a while now been developing a competing marketplace.
