Launched in 2016, Stride aggregates more than 30,000 itineraries from tour operators to help users find the right guided or self-guided multi-day trip. Its platform targets older, affluent travelers while also attracting a growing segment of younger customers looking for small-group or private tours. The recently introduced TripFinder feature guides users through a short questionnaire to surface trips that match their travel style, destinations, and desired level of free time. In the past year, the company drove over $330 million in tour bookings and projects surpassing $1 billion in 2019, demonstrating strong transaction volume despite its early stage. Co-founded by former Starwood Hotels and Viator executive Gavin Delany, Stride positions itself as a specialist marketplace largely ignored by major travel sites focused on flights and hotels. The business plans to use new capital to enhance its technology platform and broaden its catalog of trips, making complex world travel easier to book.
