Exciting News: A $370 Million Investment from KKR to Further Accelerate the Future of Our Commercial Intelligence Platform

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve secured a $370 million investment from leading global investment firm KKR to support the  next phase of our growth. This investment marks a significant milestone for us and will accelerate our mission to reimagine the commercial strategy for the $15 billion global travel & hospitality technology market.

This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our team, the trust of our customers, and the confidence of our investors. As we look to the future, we remain committed to supporting the success of what we consider the “three legs of the stool” that work together to create balance, stability, and sustainable growth: our customers, our team members, and our investors.

For Our Customers & Partners: Enhanced Value Through Innovation

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and this investment enables us to deliver even more innovation and value to them. With KKR’s support, we will accelerate the development of our next generation data and AI capabilities in the Lighthouse platform, giving our customers access to tools that deliver real business impact.

This means deeper insights, advanced automation, and a more seamless user experience—all designed to help hotels and hospitality businesses compete and win in an increasingly dynamic marketplace.

In addition, with over 70,000 hotels using our platform across 185 countries, KKR’s investment positions us to expand our reach geographically, allowing us to offer localized solutions and support in new markets, as well as deepening our relationships in existing ones. For our customers, this means even more personalized service and a broader ecosystem of Lighthouse platform partners.

For Our Team Members: Growth Opportunities and an Inspiring Mission

This investment isn’t just about expanding our platform—it’s about investing in the incredible team members behind it. Our team members are the driving force behind Lighthouse, and we’re fully committed to creating a high performing environment where they can do their best work and thrive as professionals. With this investment, we will be able to expand our team, offering new opportunities for growth, collaboration, and professional development.

We’re excited to continue building a culture that fosters meaningful work, pursuing greatness, but in an environment where we respect, care and elevate each other.

For Our Investors: A Strategic Decision to Drive Long-Term Value

At Lighthouse, investors are far more than just a source of funding — they’re true partners in our journey. The right investors bring experience, strategic insight, and a shared vision, complementing our team and helping us unlock our true potential as a business. Together with our Board of Directors, we create a collaborative partnership that defines strategy, drives innovation, and unlocks new opportunities for growth.

This strategic partnership with KKR is a powerful signal of the potential we’re unlocking in the hospitality technology vertical. Every investor on the planet recognises the massive potential in travel & hospitality, but very few platforms and teams have managed to achieve the scale to break out and become a category defining business. Until Lighthouse, that is.

This partnership is not only about enhancing our platform’s capabilities but also about positioning the company for sustainable, reliable and long-term growth. Going forward, we are uniquely positioned to execute on our strategy that will deliver real and meaningful returns over time.

Our investors can look forward to a continued focus on disciplined execution, cutting edge innovation, and a commitment to creating real value. Together with KKR, we’re building a stronger foundation for growth that will serve all stakeholders well into the future.

Looking Ahead

The investment from KKR isn’t just about raising capital - it’s about partnership, vision, and the shared belief in what our team can achieve. We are grateful for the trust our customers, partners, team members, and investors have placed in us and we’re excited to embark on this next stage of our journey together.

Thank you all for being part of the Lighthouse journey, and stay tuned for more exciting updates. We’re only getting started and the best is yet to come!
