What TeamOut does

TeamOut is a B2B marketplace and event planning platform that connects corporate clients with venues for retreats, offsites, sales kickoffs, incentive trips, board meetings, and team-building events. Founded in 2021 by Thomas Mazimann (CEO) and Vincent Albouy (CTO/co-founder), the company is headquartered in San Francisco, California and incorporated in Delaware as TeamOut Inc. The platform operates a curated network of 1,000+ vetted venues globally, supplemented by an AI-powered recommendation engine that searches a broader 4,000+ venue database. Supporting products include a Meeting & Event Procurement Platform for RFP management, a free Budget Estimator and Flight Estimator for top-of-funnel lead generation, and a Destination Management Company service for on-the-ground logistics.

The platform is IATA-accredited for international travel logistics and combines a self-serve digital interface (app.teamout.com) with a high-touch inside-sales motion staffed by expert trip designers who assist clients with venue selection, vendor coordination, and on-site execution. TeamOut claims to have served over 100,000 travelers and holds a 4.8/5 rating from 360 platform users. Customer logos span technology (Reddit, Netflix, Brex, Strava, Akoya, Intercom), financial services (Accenture, PwC), consumer goods (L'Oréal, Tate & Lyle), healthcare (Gilead), and automotive (Mitsubishi), with event sizes ranging from 24 to 170+ employees.

The business model is anchored on a 10% commission charged to venue managers on total booking value, with venues able to opt into upfront payment (with preferred ranking) or post-event settlement. Adjacent revenue is generated through full-service event planning engagements. TeamOut has raised approximately $3.2M across disclosed rounds including a $2.2M round led by FundersClub, Karman Ventures, Pioneer Fund, and Y Combinator in April 2022, with subsequent capital from Louva Invest and Team Ignite Ventures in September 2024. Headcount is reported at 51-100 employees.
