February 01, 2013, Chicago, IL —TripRental.com, a budding startup in the vacation rental marketplace, has announced its completion of Series A funding of $500,000 from private investors. This positions TripRental.com as a successful travel start-up that is in high demand.
TripRental.com, a startup online marketplace of vacation rentals, has completed it’s first round funding of $500,000 from private investors. One of the many private investors, Vaughn Moore, who also served as an invaluable member of TripRental.com’s board of advisors, said, “I am excited to invest in a company with a fresh advertising idea for the vacation rental industry, and looking forward to watching and sharing in its growth and success. It was an easy decision for me to expand my investment in TripRental.com and I am pleased to lead the Series A investment.” Vaughn is the President of AIT Worldwide Logistics and a 17-year logistics industry veteran.
Series A funding is where a company receives its first significant round of venture funding by investors. Stock is sold to investors in exchange for investment. This is a critical stage for new companies.
