Oceania travel startup funding
This page covers startups headquartered in Australia and New Zealand. It lists every travel funding round we have found for them since 1 January 2026, each linked to its source.
So far: 6 rounds by 5 companies, with $24.6M disclosed. The largest disclosed round is Hometime's round of $19.0M, announced in Jan 2026.
Rounds from 1 January 2026, built from company announcements, investor posts and the press, and checked every morning. The rest of the world follows in a later edition. How we build this
Unverified rows (one secondary source so far) are included and carry a badge; unverified rounds of USD 50M or more stay off the page until verified. Totals count disclosed amounts only, converted to USD at the rate on the announcement date.

Raised a round? Tell us.
Founders, investors and PR teams can send us a round with a link to the public announcement. We check every submission against a public source before it goes in.
Submit your roundHow we build this
- APAC edition: startups headquartered in India, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia or New Zealand, and startups based elsewhere that operate mainly in APAC or raised from APAC investors.
- Only public sources: company announcements, investor posts, regulatory filings and the press. Every round links to where we found it and shows the date we checked it.
- Verified means a primary source or two independent reports agree. Unverified means one secondary report so far; we keep checking.
- We never estimate an amount. If no source gives one, the row says undisclosed.
- Descriptions are written by TravHQ. Investors are organisations; individual angels are counted, never named.
