Amsterdam-based hospitality technology startup Toppi has raised nearly €1 million in pre-seed funding to accelerate the rollout of its AI-powered solutions for hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality businesses.
The round was led by Graduate Entrepreneur Fund and Curiosity VC, with additional support from several strategic angel investors.
Founded in 2024, Toppi is building an AI platform designed to help hospitality operators streamline operations, optimize guest experiences, and increase efficiency in areas such as staffing, reservations, and customer engagement.
With this pre-seed round, the company plans to scale its product development and expand into more European markets.
