The HAVEL & PARTNERS team acted as legal counsel to investors in a Series A investment round in which the Czech travel start-up Daytrip raised new capital totalling EUR 6.14 million. Daytrip is a global platform that offers tourists in 85 countries worldwide private transport with local drivers directly in the places people visit.

The firm’s partner Václav Audes, together with associate Josef Bouchal, provided complete legal services related to the investment in Daytrip for the Budapest-based fund Euroventures, which led the investment round and invested its assets in the travel platform together with other investors, namely J&T Ventures, Nation 1 VC, and Pale Fire Capital.

Euroventures is one of the longest-established leading venture capital firms in Central and Eastern Europe, investing in innovative and fast-growing companies in the region through its Budapest office.

Daytrip plans to use the investment for its further growth. The company has been operating since 2015. It offers tourists in destinations around the world an alternative to conventional modes of transport, and more than 300,000 people have already used its services.
