BizTrip.AI, makers of AI-powered travel management technology, has raised $1.5 million in its latest portion of its pre-seed funding round, bringing its total funding to $2.5 million, according to an announcement. The funding, the third for the company, includes the recently announced minority stake taken by Sabre Corp., which is also providing technology infrastructure for BizTrip.AI.

RRE Ventures, a boutique venture capital firm, led the investment, along with participants BAG Collective, BAG Ventures, Correlation Ventures and AI Fund, which is BizTrip.AI’s biggest investor.

Ten individual investors also participated in the funding, including Cain Travel CEO Michael Cain, as well as travel technology veteran Mike Daly and former Yapta chief product officer Valerie Layman. Yapta co-founder Tom Romary is BizTrip.AI’s CEO and one of its co-founders.

The company said the new capital will help it accelerate product development, hire engineering talent and support customer growth. BizTrip.AI is currently in pilot mode and plans a wider release in the second quarter of this year.

Romary said the funding “allows the company to continue building agentic AI capabilities that reduce friction for travelers and deliver meaningful cost savings and heightened compliance for organizations.“
