The idea behind San Francisco-based TripIt is to give travelers all the information they need for their trip in one place — their flight itinerary, hotel, maps, weather information, and more. The company has also introduced a groups feature so that you can collaborate with colleagues on travel plans, and a pro service with real-time alerts.

(The company shares in the revenue from those apps.)
The round was led by new investor Azure Capital Partners and O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures, which also participated in TripIt’s first and second rounds. The company has now raised $13.1 million in all.
