Away, the modern lifestyle brand renowned for transforming travel, has successfully raised an impressive $31 million in its newest funding round. Since its inception in February 2016, Away has swiftly risen to become one of the fastest-growing consumer brands globally, selling millions of innovative travel products, and expanding its dedicated team from a mere four members to over 250. With its presence now spanning nearly 40 countries and seven retail locations across two nations, Away is poised for continued growth—and this latest funding injects vital capital to support that endeavor.
The newly acquired funds will enable Away to branch out into new travel product categories, including apparel, wellness items, and lifestyle accessories. This strategic pivot is not only aimed at enhancing the brand’s existing offerings but also ensuring that it remains synonymous with the travel experience. Additionally, Away plans to significantly expand its physical retail footprint, with an ambitious goal of opening 50 new stores in the coming three years both in the United States and internationally. This expansion is indicative of Away’s commitment to making travel accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
The recognition from industry giants, such as being named one of Fast Company’s “World’s Most Innovative Companies” and a Forbes “Next Billion Dollar Startup,” further solidifies Away's position in the market. As we embark on this exciting phase of growth, we invite like-minded individuals to join our mission.
