Over the past several years, we have remained intently focused on building Tripleseat to cater to the unique needs of our customers and deliver long-term value. Looking ahead to our next phase of growth, we are energized to continue innovating and transforming the way the hospitality industry approaches event management.”

In partnership with General Atlantic, Tripleseat plans to focus on key growth areas including expanding market reach, further investing in its product and technology, pursuing strategic M&A, and scaling into additional markets. General Atlantic brings significant experience in integrated software and payments and plans to work with Tripleseat to further enhance this product offering to customers.

“Events are an important and growing business for restaurants, hotels, and other venues. Jono and the Tripleseat team have helped to modernize the events management business, allowing clients to replace cumbersome manual processes with a comprehensive yet easy-to-use system to manage and grow their event operations,” said Paul Stamas, Managing Director and Global Head of Financial Services at General Atlantic. “We look forward to partnering with the Tripleseat team and leveraging our decades of experience in software and payments to support the company’s path toward continued expansion,” added Raph Osnoss, Managing Director at General Atlantic.
