Offenburg / Munich, February 19, 2026 - happyhotel, the revenue management software for independent hotels and hotel groups across Europe, has successfully closed a €6.5 million Series A funding round.

Hotels in transition – happyhotel provides the solution
Hotels are increasingly facing more pressure. Rising costs, volatile demand, staff shortages and the growing dependence on online booking platforms make it difficult for many hotels to operate profitably. happyhotel supports hoteliers with automated price optimization, combining artificial intelligence with human expertise. Today, happyhotel already optimizes the distribution of more than 50,000 hotel rooms in 12 countries, increasing average hotel revenue by around 15%. In total, happyhotel manages annual hotel revenue of over €1 billion.
Setting a new standard: from revenue management software to AI agent
With the fresh capital, happyhotel will accelerate its expansion across Europe and invest in the further development of its commercial AI agent. The AI agent supports users in making the right pricing and distribution decisions and will gradually take over increasingly complex tasks. It analyzes a wide range of market and demand data in real time. A team of experienced in-house revenue managers complements the AI agent on fundamental strategic questions.
“We are not building our system for the revenue manager – we are automating the tasks of a revenue manager,” explains Rafael Weißmüller, CEO of happyhotel. “Our goal is to enable professional revenue management for every hotel and fully automate the selling of hotel rooms so hoteliers can focus entirely on their guests.”
Strategic partnership for European expansion
“happyhotel brings together everything we look for at this stage: an experienced founding team, a scalable product with measurable customer value and a large market that has still only been partially tapped,” says Hans-Christian Perle of Reimann Investors. “Rafael and his team have convincingly demonstrated that they deeply understand the hospitality industry and can translate its requirements into a powerful solution. We look forward to supporting happyhotel as an active sparring partner in the next growth phase.”
