About
Based in California, US, and founded in 2019 by its CEO Annie Munro Sloan and Mikel Hubbard, The Host Company HC, Inc. trading as The Host Co. , operates as a developer of a travel tech platform that adds retail, pre-order services, and curated local vendors to short-term rental spaces. In March 2022, The Host Company HC, Inc.
raised USD 1. 85 million in seed funding led by new investor Hearst Ventures, with participation from other new investors The Artemis Fund and Untapped Capital. The Host Company HC, Inc. platform enables hosts to create an online store to sell anything in their property, including snacks, drinks, and art on the walls.
There are also additional services including pre-stock my pantry and connections to local artisan products for sale. Guests can make purchases before or during their stay. Some items are stocked in the properties, while others can be rented, delivered, offered at a discounted rate for local pickup, or can be purchased to ship back home. The company adds a mini-bar, concierge, and gift shop for their clients.
The Host Company HC, Inc. will use the seed funding to scale and expand its logistical capabilities, partner with more short-term rental hosts, and further enhance the guest experience.
