"Beyond accelerating our growth, the additional funding enables us to further develop the three key pillars of ZOZI's strategy: inspiration, commerce, and technology. Our customers seek a trusted source to help them with discovery and curation of the most authentic experiences and the latest gear products, while our merchants seek an on-brand channel to find large numbers of targeted new customers who will become repeat buyers and refer their friends," said TJ Sassani, CEO & founder, ZOZI. "By continuing to connect our active lifestyle customers with the best curated products, further integrating our celebrity Guru team, and enhancing our technology for both merchants and customers, we will further disrupt the experience and activity segment of the economy."

In 2013, ZOZI will focus on more deeply integrating its world-class celebrity expert team (ZOZI Gurus), increasing the quality and breadth of its products across local experiences, getaways, and gear, and implementing new technologies to improve the customer and merchant booking experience. The company will make several significant announcements throughout the year related to these plans.

"With this new funding, and some of the most innovative and respected thought leaders in our market behind the company, we will continue to leverage our brand, technology, and ideas to challenge conventional wisdom and bring a fresh perspective to an otherwise underdeveloped market."
