Costas and Kevin said “We are excited to have advised SiteMinder on its latest funding round from a round of high quality, sophisticated investors. The strong demand from investors demonstrates the strength and resilience of SiteMinder’s business through these challenging times, and we are privileged to have assisted SiteMinder again on its continued growth and success.”

G+T also advised SiteMinder on its previous capital raise of over $100 million in January 2020, which saw SiteMinder breaking through a $1 billion valuation.
