## About

Based in New Jersey, US, and founded in 2019 by Marc Hostovsky, and Shobhit Khandelwal, Minoan Experience, Inc., d.b.a. Minoan operates as a native retail company that offers a platform intended to help short-term rentals and boutique hotels to make their stay unique and comfortable. In February 2022, Minoan Experience, Inc. raised USD 5 million in seed funding led by Accel.

Minoan provides an easy-to-use digital platform for products, properties, and customers to make a better shopping experience without visiting any store. The platform allows users to order the product by scanning the QR code on the interested product that customers might see anywhere. As of February 2022, Minoan has approximately 80 partners, encompassing 1,800 spaces, which includes a network of about 40 hotels, such as Mint House 70 Pine, Lokal Hotels, and William Vale. In addition, the firm is also focused on short-term rental properties listed on VRBO and Airbnb.

The company plans to use its proceeds from February 2022 funding to expand its geographical presence, as well as hire more talents in India.
