OneTwoTrip service raised $ 8 million from Goldman Sachs fund
According to the newspaper Kommersant, OneTwoTrip online ticket sales service has attracted investments from the large fund Goldman Sachs, which has acquired additional shares of OneTwoTrip worth $ 8 million.
OneTwoTrip was launched in May 2011. The creator of the service, Peter Curtis, claims that he managed to achieve operational profitability in almost six months. The co-owners of OneTwoTrip are Atomico and Phenomen Ventures funds, which have invested $ 16 million and $ 9 million, respectively.
Features of the service are in the ranking of carriers for such parameters as the year of release of the air vessel, the distance between the seats, the probability of a possible delay of the flight. In addition, when paying, split-payments are applied: one amount is paid to the airline for the ticket, and the other is paid as a commission (4-7% of the cost of the ticket).

Sekret Firmy magazine published a rating of the largest Russian online sellers, according to which OneTwoTrip ranks 10th with an average turnover of 1.7 billion rubles per month, which is much more than, for example, AWAD from 1 billion rubles.
According to analysts at Ozon.travel, in 2014 the air ticket market volume increased by about 20% and amounted to 230 billion rubles. And the share of online services for the sale of tickets in this market is about 30%.
Alexander Sizintsev, CEO of Biletix, believes that OneTwoTrip is “a profitable project, one of the leaders.” A few years ago, the company's valuation reached $ 100 million. And now, according to experts, it will be several times higher.
