Cloudbeds was founded in 2012 by Adam Harris and Richard Castle with a mission to innovate the hospitality industry by simplifying the management of lodging businesses. The founders conceived the idea after realizing the difficulties travelers faced while booking local accommodations in Brazil, aiming to create a platform that could serve establishments of any size or type globally. Since its inception, Cloudbeds has expanded to serve tens of thousands of boutique hotels, hostels, inns, vacation rentals, and groups in over 148 countries.

The company offers a comprehensive hospitality management suite that integrates property management, channel management, and revenue management tools to help properties grow revenue and automate workflows efficiently. Cloudbeds supports over 300 distribution integrations, enabling seamless connections across multiple sales channels and improving operational efficiency for hospitality businesses.

Cloudbeds prides itself on a culturally diverse team, with over 200 employees across 31 countries, speaking 17 languages. This diversity allows the company to maintain a strong presence in local and international travel markets, from South America to Asia.

Throughout its history, Cloudbeds has achieved significant milestones including multiple rounds of funding, strategic acquisitions, and continuous innovation in hospitality technology. It has been recognized as a leading property management system (PMS) and hotel management software by prominent industry bodies and has played a key role in generating billions in revenue for its clients.

The company remains private and continues to focus on expanding its offerings and adapting to evolving market dynamics to empower hospitality providers worldwide.
