It all began when Savanna Sunrise Ltd. was founded in Dubai in 2014. EndreOpdal and HavarBauck, the founders, aimed to provide e-commerce and diital marketing solutions to hotels in East Africa. Since the three-merger talks in 2017 with Hospitality Tehnology Solutions Ltd and Polish Partner, Hotel Online, HotelOnline was born. The group raised $200,000 in an equity crowdfunding, making the organization the first African tech startup to succeed in this funding method. In 2019, HotelOnline announced that prominent startup investor ShravanShroff was taking part in their operations as part of the Board of Directors. He’s also investing in the company and was famous for his role as the first investor in traveltech unicorn OYO Rooms. He’s also the co-founder of Mumbai-based startup accelerator Venture Nursery.
