IRIS Tech Ventures
IRIS Tech Ventures, part of IRIS Software Systems Limited, is an investor in tech hospitality that enhances and positively changes a guest’s experience and interaction with a hotel.
We invest in the people, ideas and start-up businesses that will help IRIS turn amazing ideas, concepts and products into reality for the hotel groups we proudly call our customers.
Company focus:
For the last few years, we’ve focused our efforts, and investments, on the following three areas that have had the biggest impact:
Making the hotel guest journey more personal, from the initial booking to the end of their stay
Improving and simplifying the hotel staff’s interaction and management of the guest experience during their stay
Providing solutions that enhance the guest journey and enable hoteliers to reduce costs and increase their ancillary revenue
Deploying the very latest in technology innovation to enhance and simplify the guest’s communication with the hotel.
Ideas, concepts and products extending the deployment of technology to assist IRIS in its goals, including AI, blockchain, voice recognition, VR, health checks and guidance (diet, allergies and so on) are firmly on the IRIS roadmap.
IRIS Tech Ventures vision:
IRIS Tech Ventures invests and works with start-ups, growth and scale-up businesses to enhance the IRIS proposition while also acting as the gateway and introducer to the world’s leading hotel groups.
