Owayy

Owayy is an online booking platform that connects nature lovers with unique outdoor accommodation experiences primarily in Northern Europe. Founded in 2018 by Magnus Emil Holst Schou and Anton Frederik North in Copenhagen, Denmark, the company curates a selection of handpicked getaways such as glamping sites, tiny cabins, and treehouses. The business was established to offer travelers exceptional experiences in relaxing, natural surroundings without a significant environmental footprint.

The company operates on a B2C and B2B marketplace model, catering to both travelers seeking unique stays and hosts who own the properties. For travelers, Owayy provides a platform to discover and book accommodations. For hosts, the company offers a suite of services to simplify operations, including managing booking systems, payments, customer support, and communication, which helps increase visibility and bookings. The platform also features a host login to manage listings and a cross-channel calendar management system to sync with other booking sites like Airbnb to prevent double bookings.

Owayy has raised a total of $356K in funding over two rounds, with its latest seed round in August 2022. In April 2024, the company was acquired by Campanyon, and the Owayy platform has now merged with Campanyon to continue providing outdoor stays.
