For tourists in their millennial years, WeRoad redefines group adventure travel. The majority of "WeRoaders" are millennials searching for a novel form of travel where an opportunity to meet new people and form new friendships coexists with the local experience.

Andrea D’Amico, CEO of WeRoad, said: “This round doubles our total investment to date and is a strong endorsement by both existing and new investors of the WeRoad success story. In just five years, despite a global pandemic, we’ve captured the group adventure travel market. And over the past 12 months, we’ve not only doubled our turnover but also significantly enhanced our future growth potential by increasing our community of travel coordinators in Europe from 1,200 to 2,500, paving the way for an exciting future.”

Riccardo Porcelli, Head of Digital Investments at H14, added: “We have observed how the travel sector has become increasingly resilient and non-discretionary, especially among millennials. We’ve been tracking WeRoad for a while and are extremely impressed with the community and platform they’ve built quickly. We’re very excited to join their story and look forward to supporting the team in their next phase of growth”.
