About the Award:
Founded by London-based, former academic psychiatrist Dr. Kris Naudts, Culture Trip is a highly ambitious, fast-growing, global tech/media startup with offices in London, New York, and Tel Aviv and a vast global contributor network of writers, videographers, photographers, and illustrators around the world. The company was recently featured in Forbes as one of five fast-growing businesses to watch in 2017.
After a few years of bootstrapping and experimenting, the start-up received a seed round of $2M from a top media/tech investor in the summer of 2015. This was followed by a $20M Series A in the summer of 2016.
Since then, the company has ramped up its technological capabilities and editorial output and built initial sales teams in London and New York.
From only 12 employees in the summer of 2016, it has grown to more than 120 in-house staff, hiring top talent from Google, Facebook, Buzzfeed, Condé Nast, The Guardian, and ITV.
The company sees itself as a tech company, with media and creative work as its output.
We’re passionate about bringing compelling content to every corner of the world through our global community of writers, videographers, photographers, and illustrators.
