Skyscanner
Skyscanner, the Edinburgh-based technology company, has been sold to a Chinese rival for £1.4bn. Skyscanner sells travel online, but it is much more than just another travel website; its technology frequently sees it cited as one of Britain's top technology companies, and it is one of the UK's few "unicorns" - youngish tech companies with valuations north of $1bn.
London, UK-based hotel metasearch Top10.com raised $8 million in a Series B financing round led by Balderton Capital to fuel its expansion into Europe and its plans to beef up its workforce.
New York City, US-based smart flight finding mobile app Hit List exited the beta phase and is currently raising around $500,000 in its seed funding round.
In an announcement today, passenger travel search engine company Skyscanner announced that Sequoia Capital had placed investment commitments to the startup valued at USD800 million.
