Navan

Navan was founded in 2015 by Ariel Cohen and Ilan Twig, originally under the name TripActions, entering the corporate travel booking category based on the observation that traditional corporate travel management, historically handled through dedicated travel management companies and cumbersome internal approval processes, was poorly suited to modern employees' expectations for a consumer-grade booking experience comparable to popular consumer travel apps, while also lacking modern software integration with expense reporting and broader corporate spend management. Navan's platform combines corporate travel booking with integrated expense management, letting employees book flights, hotels, and other travel directly within the platform while automatically capturing associated expense data, reducing the manual expense reporting burden that separate travel booking and expense management systems have historically created for both traveling employees and finance teams processing reimbursements. The company rebranded from TripActions to Navan in 2022, reflecting its expansion beyond travel booking specifically into a broader combined travel-and-expense platform positioning, and has continued to compete in a corporate travel and expense management category that includes both dedicated travel management companies and broader spend management platforms like Ramp and Brex that have also built out expense management capability, though Navan has differentiated itself through its specific combination of integrated travel booking alongside expense management. Navan has raised very substantial venture funding from investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed Venture Partners, reaching a valuation exceeding $9.2 billion at its peak.
