Much Better Adventures (MBA), an online travel company specializing in active outdoor adventure holidays, has secured a US$6.3 million (£5 million) investment from Gresham House Ventures, a growth equity investor focused on software and digitally driven businesses in the consumer, healthcare and service sectors.

MBA is an online travel company specializing in active outdoor adventure holidays. Established to capitalize on the rising demand for socially responsible adventure travel, MBA caters to solo travelers seeking an experience beyond the typical “fly and flop” holiday. Since its inception, the company has welcomed adventurers from over 100 countries. By partnering with handpicked local operators, the platform offers exclusive, solo-friendly and expert-led trips worldwide. Operating in a highly fragmented, competitive and fast-growing sector, MBA has achieved strong organic growth and built a loyal global following. Revenues have increased 11-fold since 2019 and tripled in the past two years alone, underlining the growing demand for the company’s curated high-quality experiences.

Oaklins Cavendish, one of Oaklins’ member firms in the UK, advised travel scale-up MBA on a US$6.3 million (£5 million) fundraising.
