Hopper — Valuation, Funding & Investors

Hopper is a travel technology company founded in April 2007 by Frederic Lalonde and Joost Ouwerkerk, both former Expedia executives, and headquartered in Montreal with a major office in Boston. It began as a travel-planning tool before launching its consumer app in 2014, using machine learning to predict flight and hotel prices and later adding fintech features such as price freezing and flexible cancellation.

Through its business-to-business division, Hopper Technology Solutions, the company licenses its AI, travel-commerce and fintech tools to banks and airlines, powering Capital One Travel and working with Air Canada, Commonwealth Bank, Nubank and Lloyds Bank. Hopper also funds tree planting for every booking through partners including Eden Reforestation Projects.
