SINGAPORE: GlobalTix, a ticketing software provider and marketplace distribution platform for the tourism industry, today announced the successful closure of its S$6.5M Series B funding round. The round was led by VC firm Tin Men Capital, with participation from SEEDS Capital, ORZON Ventures—a Thailand-based venture capital fund managed by 500 Thailand—and a US-based family office.
Founded in 2013, GlobalTix has grown into Southeast Asia’s largest ticket aggregator, hosting over 150,000 experiences and working with 12,000 travel agents, issuing more than 12 million tickets annually. With 10 offices across key markets in Asia, including China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, GlobalTix has established a strong regional footprint.
The company is a preferred ticketing and channel management partner for renowned attractions across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and beyond. Their portfolio includes partnerships with Jewel Changi Airport, Mount Faber Leisure Group, Taman Safari Indonesia, and Merlin Entertainments. GlobalTix’s innovative ticketing and distribution solutions streamline operations for these attractions while enhancing visitor experiences.
The newly secured funding will support the company’s ambitious expansion plans, with a focus on implementing AI-driven technologies to enhance GlobalTix’s product offerings. This strategic investment will also help the company maintain its leadership position in the evolving landscape of travel technology.
CEO Chan Chee Chong shared his thoughts on the funding:
“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our long-standing investors, especially Tin Men Capital, who have been instrumental in our growth as we tripled in size. We are also excited to welcome new investors like ORZON Ventures. This investment will strengthen our foothold in APAC, expand market access, and allow us to deploy AI and predictive analytics to identify trends, optimize pricing, and enhance traveler experiences.”
Tin Men Capital, a Singapore-based VC firm specializing in B2B software startups in Southeast Asia, first invested in GlobalTix in 2018. Returning as lead investors in this round, the firm continues to support the company’s growth trajectory.
Jeremy Tan, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Tin Men Capital, said:
“Since our initial investment in 2018, GlobalTix has grown to become the largest tour aggregator in Southeast Asia while achieving cash flow positivity. Their performance, capital efficiency, and resilience have inspired continued investor confidence. We are excited to help the company build on its momentum and lead future innovations in the travel tech industry.”
