Skift Take
Priceline founder Jay Walker aims with Upside to offer an alternative for smaller companies buying travel. If the reports of the latest funding round are true, investors must believe Walker is going to work some of his entrepreneurial magic again. On the other hand, they've been wrong before.
Upside, a New York-based business travel startup founded by Priceline founder Jay Walker, is raising as much as $100 million in new funding, according to a published report.
Private-equity firm Vista Equity Partners Management is leading the round, the Fortune report said. Fortune pegged the valuation at $600 million, although there was skepticism about the accuracy of that valuation.
An Upside spokesperson would not comment on the report.
