Inntelo AI secures £500k for hospitality tech expansion

UK hospitality tech startup Inntelo AI has raised over £500k in Pre-Seed funding to grow its AI-powered hotel communications platform. The company's product integrates guest and staff communications through WhatsApp and phone, using conversational AI to automate inquiries and coordinate tasks across departments.

Co-founded by CEO Asif Alidina, who brings a decade of hotel operations experience, Inntelo addresses the industry's tech adoption challenges with domain-specific expertise. The platform has already secured traction with Radisson and Wyndham-branded properties across the UK, UAE, and Europe.

Haatch and British Business Bank led the round, with participation from Look AI Ventures and hospitality industry angel investors. This follows an earlier £120k investment from Antler.

The funding helps validate the market opportunity for hospitality-focused AI solutions that bridge guest expectations with operational efficiency. With hotels increasingly seeking technology that enhances both guest experience and staff productivity, Inntelo's industry-insider approach positions it well against generic AI solutions lacking sector-specific insights and context.
