Almost three months after Halifax travel scheduling startup Trip Ninja announced it was ceasing operations, an eleventh-hour buyout has saved the company and the jobs of both its founders and employees.
In September, CEO Andres Collart said he was shuttering Trip Ninja because of the damage wrought by COVID-19 on the travel sector. Now, the company has announced it is being acquired by Melbourne, Australia’s Webjet and will continue operations.
“Webjet reached out to Trip Ninja after seeing the press release we had on September 8th about winding down,” Collart told Entrevestor in an email.
