Documented cause
Evaneos built a marketplace connecting travelers with local travel agents for customized trips. The platform had grown to €250M+ in bookings by 2019 and raised over €100M. COVID-19 eliminated the entire industry overnight. Despite multiple capital raises and restructuring attempts, the company entered administration in 2021 and could not recover as travel remained restricted.
Lesson
“Travel businesses with high fixed costs need reserves equivalent to 12+ months of operating expenses to survive industry-wide demand collapses.”
