Richard Valtr is the founder of Mews — which provides a cloud-based hotel property management platform with tools covering reservations, payments, and more. It has raised $223 million of funding, from notable investors such as Kinnevik, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Revaia, Derive Ventures, Orbit Capital, Battery Ventures, Notion Capital, Salesforce Ventures, Thayer Ventures and henQ, with a potential company a post-money valuation of $865 million.

Mews are streets (for example, in London) full of usually small houses or flats converted from horse stables for bigger houses nearby. Ironically, though, Mews the startup is not that small at all. In the year that travel “came back” post the peak of COVID and the various restrictions imposed on people moving around, Mews saw revenues grow 174%, with gross payment volume in the period up 227% and now standing at $2.3 billion. It has customers in 85 countries, and 5,000 hotels in all.
