Backers included a syndicate of high-net-worth individuals, venture funds, and family offices in the real estate, hospitality and travel technology sectors. In connection with Series B Financing, Dustin M. Gillman, a private equity and real estate executive and investor, former principal at Ranch Capital, and an employee and strategic advisor at Berkadia Commercial Mortgage, will be joining Vacatia’s Board of Directors.
