Headquartered in New York, Headout was founded in 2014 by Varun Khona (CEO), Suren Sultania (COO) and Vikramjit Singh (CTO).[9][10] Headout offers experiences and travel activities in 15 major cities around the world including New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, London, Dubai, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid and Amsterdam.[11][12]

In 2015, Headout had raised a $1.8 million seed round from Version One Ventures, 500 Startups, Nexus Venture Partners and Arena Ventures.[13][14] In 2018, Headout raised $10 million, bringing the total funding to $12 million. This recent investment was made by Nexus Venture Partners and Version One Ventures.[15][16][17]

## Headout Platform
