WayBlazer, an Austin, Texas-based intelligent discovery platform for the travel and leisure industry, raised $5m in Series A funding.
The round was led by The Entrepreneurs’ Fund (TEF) and IBM, with participation from Gobi Partners.
The company intends to use the funds to expand the development of its catalog of travel discovery solutions, accelerate sales and speed the delivery of their solutions into the marketplace.
