Onto raises $1m pre-seed for hotel bookings with price-drop refunds
Stargazer Fund led financing for the Bengaluru travel platform, alongside Singapore-based White Venture Capital.
Onto has launched its travel platform with $1 million in pre-seed funding led by Stargazer Fund, with participation from Singapore-based White Venture Capital. The round was announced on 21 October 2026.
Founded in June by former Groww professionals Jagdeep Singh and Shubham Goyal, the Bengaluru company plans to use the financing to expand operations, strengthen its technology and develop new products.
Its first service tracks eligible hotel reservations after purchase and refunds customers when the same stay becomes cheaper. That includes qualifying bookings made through other platforms. Onto connects with hotel suppliers for domestic and international inventory and is also developing recommendations based on travellers’ preferences.
