beder is a Barcelona-based travel platform that lets users discover destinations, accommodation and experiences through short user-generated videos and book them directly in the app. Founded in February 2021 and available on iOS and Android since June 2022, it pairs a video-first social feed with a metasearch booking layer, earning commission on reservations made through partners such as Musement, Booking and Skyscanner, and also produces video content for tourism businesses through its bStudio arm. By mid-2023 the app had surpassed 7,000 active users, 21,000 videos and 350 experience bookings, and it was named one of the ten most promising traveltech startups by Future Travel and won the Telefónica prize at the Tourism Innovation Summit 2022. The company has raised roughly €490,000 at seed stage, including a €300,000 crowdequity round on Startupxplore in 2023 backed by business angels including Guillem Pérez Millán, Stanley Meek and Álex Buxó, alongside financing from ENISA.
