Stargazer Fund leads $1 M Pre-seed funding secured by customer-focused travel platform Onto
Customer-focused travel platform Onto has launched its services alongside raising $1 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Stargazer Fund, with participation from Singapore-based White Venture Capital.
The startup will use the fresh capital to expand its operations, strengthen its technology infrastructure and build new products, Onto said in a press release.
Founded in June 2026 by Jagdeep Singh and Shubham Goyal, the Bengaluru-based company helps travellers find and book hotels while tracking price reductions on eligible reservations, including bookings made through third-party platforms.
Its first offering, Price Drop Refund, automatically returns the difference to travellers if the price of an eligible hotel booking drops after the reservation has been confirmed. The feature applies to bookings made directly through Onto as well as qualifying reservations on other platforms.
Onto tracks hotel prices following a booking. If the same room at the same hotel for the same dates becomes available at a lower rate, the platform refunds the price difference to the customer’s original payment method. Travellers are notified about price movements and refunds through WhatsApp and app alerts.
The platform has integrated with multiple hotel suppliers, enabling users to access accommodation options across domestic and international destinations. The company plans to extend its services beyond hotel reservations to address other aspects of travel planning.
Onto is also working on AI-powered features that will analyse travellers’ preferences and previous travel patterns to suggest suitable options and provide explanations for its recommendations.
