Mews Secures $300 Million Investment, Reinforcing Its Leadership in Hospitality Technology

Mews Secures $300 Million Investment: A New Era for Hospitality Technology

Mews, a leading operating system for the hospitality industry, recently announced a significant achievement, securing $300 million in Series D financing. This funding round, primarily led by EQT Growth, saw participation from notable investors such as Atomico and HarbourVest Partners, along with existing contributors like Kinnevik, Battery Ventures, and Tiger Global. With this investment, Mews’s corporate valuation has soared to $2.5 billion, setting the stage for further technological advancements that could reshape the hospitality sector.

A Year of remarkable Growth

In 2025, Mews reported impressive statistics: they amassed a customer base of 15,000 hotels and facilitated over 42.3 million check-ins through their innovative platform. Overall, the Mews platform accounted for a staggering $19.7 billion in transaction volumes. A remarkable 55% growth in gross profit from their Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings demonstrates Mews’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that optimize hotel operations.

Matt Welle, the CEO of Mews, expressed enthusiasm about this new funding, remarking, “With EQT Growth and our new investors supporting us, we are poised to innovate faster than any other company in our sector.” This funding will significantly expand Mews’s investment in artificial intelligence, integrating agent-assisted systems to automate complex processes. The goal is to reduce cognitive burdens for hotel staff while enhancing the guest experience dramatically.

Revolutionizing Guest Interactions

Mews aims to fundamentally change how hoteliers engage with their guests. Their focus on creating an intelligent operating system allows hoteliers to manage operations in real-time, optimize revenues, and streamline workflows without clunky legacy systems. Richard Valtr, the founder of Mews, highlights the importance of hospitality, stating, “It’s a business centered around experiences.” The feedback from the U.S. and European markets indicates a strong demand for Mews’s forward-thinking approaches, particularly in areas like AI and agent-based hospitality services.

Setting New Standards in Hospitality

As one of the largest industries globally, hospitality often lags in technology adoption. Kirk Lepke, a partner at EQT Growth, highlighted that Mews sets a modern technological standard—a AI-driven operating system that dismantles industry fragmentation. Mews's innovative solutions position it as a game-changer, leading the way into a more integrated and efficient future for hotels worldwide.

Additionally, Mews plans to expedite its fintech infrastructure development, improving payment processing and commercial operations within hotel management. This enhances Mews’s role as a critical conduit between guest experiences and revenue generation.

With ambitious expansion plans in core markets across North America and Europe, Mews is not just resting after this milestone. They are actively pursuing new opportunities to break into additional markets, underlining their position as a leader in hospitality technology.

Recognition and Future Prospects

The recent investment follows Mews’s fourteenth acquisition, that of Mews DataChat, known for its pioneering generative AI analytics platform. Furthermore, in January 2026, Mews was lauded for the third consecutive year as the world's best Property Management System by Hotel Tech Report, also receiving recognition for best point-of-sale (POS) system for hotels, cementing its status as an essential player in operational and commercial spheres of hospitality.

The Series D funding round awaits the customary regulatory approvals, but the future appears bright for Mews as they emphasize their position as a transformative force in the industry. As they push forward with their vision, Mews is set to empower hotels to not just meet but exceed the expectations of the modern traveler, solidifying themselves as the technological backbone of hospitality for years to come.
