TORONTO, Feb. 2, 2022 /CNW/ - Stack Capital Group Inc. ("Stack Capital") (TSX: STCK) (TSX: STCK.WT) is pleased to announce that it has committed to invest $6 million USD into Hopper Inc. ("Hopper") - the world's fastest-growing AI-powered travel tech platform which strives to help consumers save money with more flexibility.

Hopper has quickly become the #1 travel app downloaded in the US and, at the same time, grown its market share to solidify itself as one of the largest online travel providers. While many of its competitors experienced a significant reduction in revenue during the pandemic, Hopper generated triple-digit growth by creating a transparent travel marketplace using unique, data-driven, and industry-leading fintech products such as Refundable and Flexible Tickets, Cancel for any Reason, Price Reduction, Price Drop Guarantee, and Price Freeze – all of which provide travelers with peace of mind. Hopper has also built out a B2B solution, enabling key partners such as Capital One, Kayak, and Trip.com to gain access to its proprietary fintech product offerings under the Hopper Cloud brand. Recognized as one of the world's most innovative businesses by Fast Company, the Hopper app has been downloaded over sixty-six million times and generates over one million new installs each month.

"Travel and leisure will undoubtedly be an extremely attractive sector coming out of the pandemic and Hopper is poised to capitalize on pent-up consumer demand," said Jimmy Vaiopoulos, CFO of Stack Capital. "In a world where travelers demand increased flexibility and the lowest costs, Hopper's suite of fintech offerings and easy-to-use app have resonated with consumers. As a one-stop solution for flights, hotels, car rentals, and now short-term home rentals – we believe the outlook for Hopper is extremely bright."
