When Vivi Cahyadi Himmel and Karolina Saviova co-founded their business-to-business software-as-a-service venture AltoVita in 2018, they had big ambitions to modernise corporate accommodation. Just four years later, this dynamic and tenacious duo have not only closed a $9.5m funding round, they were also oversubscribed by an additional $5m during pressing market conditions (whilst many founders are struggling for funding). AltoVita now has an enviable top-tier client base which includes Google, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the US Government. Join us to hear how these driven tech founders are on the path to unicorn status.
