How a Young Travel Company Is Growing So Fast | B2B Travel API | WTM London | Mathias Lundoe Nielsen
Exclusive interview with Mathias Lundoe Nielsen, Founder of Ratestellar, at WTM London. Mathias Lundoe Nielsen talks about Ratestellar’s early growth, its AI-native B2B travel technology and its plans for AI agent bookings. Key Highlights: 1. He says Ratestellar is a young company, so having a stand at WTM London is a big thing. He calls it a chance to meet partners and let the industry know who they are. 2. He says they expect between $100 and $120 million in sales in January. He puts the fast growth down to the adoption of their API by the biggest travel companies. 3. He names three reasons for the growth: strong inventory in specific regions, top-of-the-line technology and very big buyers. 4. He says Ratestellar was built after 2024 in an AI-native world, not on top of a legacy system. He says clients who test the API see exceptional speed, an error rate that is basically zero and great rates. 5. He talks about a Q4 MCP rollout that lets approved AI agents make bookings in natural language. He says it is not open and partners must be approved. He believes AI agent bookings will be predominant in a couple of years. 6. He says Ratestellar does B2B distribution only, to closed user groups, super apps, fintechs, tour operators and package tours, and not B2C. He says they choose carefully who they sell to so that nobody violates the rates.
