Hotel management startup Canary has secured an $80 million Series D led by Brighton Park Capital, with participation from Y Combinator, Insight Partners, and Fidelity.
The round brings Canary’s total funding to nearly $180 million.
Streamlining the entire guest journey
Founded in 2018 by Harman Singh Narula and SJ Sawhney, Canary provides a digital suite covering the full hotel guest journey — from mobile check-in and AI-powered messaging to seamless departures. The platform now serves 20,000 hotels across more than 100 countries, including brands like Marriott, Wyndham, Best Western, and Rosewood Hotels.

Quiet raise with strategic alignment
Singh Narula noted that the fundraising was opportunistic: “While we weren’t actively fundraising, the opportunity emerged to bring in the right partners with strong alignment on vision, values, and where we’re headed.”
Expansion plans on the horizon
The new capital will be used to scale operations and grow the team. Canary is positioning itself as a key player in modernizing hotel operations at a time when labor shortages and evolving guest expectations are putting pressure on the industry.
