Weski

Weski, based in Herzliya, Israel, offers an integrated platform for booking ski holiday packages, streamlining the process for customers seeking winter sports experiences by combining flights, accommodations, and rentals into one seamless service. Weski, founded in 2016 in Herzliya, Israel, specializes in organizing ski holiday packages that simplify the travel experience for winter sports enthusiasts. The company has engaged in 3 deals with the most recent funding round occurring on March 6, 2023, when it raised USD 1. 00 mn from easyJet.

The company was co-founded by David Benzimra, Pavel Elkind, and Yotam Idan, who also serves as CEO, bringing expertise from their previous ventures in the travel and technology sectors. Weski specializes in providing comprehensive ski holiday packages that streamline the booking process for customers looking to experience winter sports. Their core offerings include tailored arrangements for flights, transfers, accommodation, ski rentals, and lift passes, catering primarily to individual travelers and groups seeking efficient and hassle-free travel experiences. By utilizing their services, customers can bypass the complexities of independently coordinating these elements, as Weski acts as a bridge between traditional travel agencies and self-service online booking platforms.

The company primarily serves the European ski markets, with a strong focus on popular destinations such as Morzine, and aims to enhance user confidence throughout the booking process by offering timely feedback and support. Weski generates revenue through direct transactions with customers seeking ski holiday packages, which encompass multiple services, including flights, accommodations, and ski-related rentals. The company operates a direct-to-consumer model, allowing customers to book their entire skiing experience in one seamless transaction. This model not only improves customer convenience but also establishes a streamlined pricing structure for bundled services, which may include discounts for last-minute bookings or group packages.

These financial transactions typically occur through an online platform where users select their desired services and confirm their bookings, ultimately leading to a satisfactory and efficient experience. The company maintains financial protection for its customers under the ATOL and ABTOT schemes, underscoring its commitment to lawful and reliable travel arrangements. In March 2023, Weski secured USD 1. 00 mn in venture funding from new investor ROCH Ventures, which will be allocated to support business expansion and platform development.

The company is currently designing new products to enhance its service offerings and plans to expand into additional European ski markets by the end of 2024.
