Company developing AI agency to offer curated travel opportunities
COLUMBIA, Md., (October 8, 2025) — TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced a recent $250,000 GAP Fund investment in Voyagier. The GAP Fund falls under the umbrella of TEDCO’s Seed Funds.
Voyagier, located in Baltimore, Md., is developing an artificial intelligence (AI) powered online travel agency and booking platform rooted in real travelers’ experiences. Blending the convenience of unified booking with the expertise of human travel designers, Voyagier aims to redefine the travel planning experience. The platform hopes to enable users and agents to discover, plan and book complex travel by leveraging imported journeys that inform an AI-assisted itinerary builder. The agent then works to orchestrate the execution of those itinerary events through Voyagier’s proprietary booking engine, including flight reservations, accommodations and tour supplier coordination.
“At Voyagier, we saw an opportunity combine AI-powered end-to-end trip planning with a trusted network of trip inspiration travelers can rely on,” said Daniel Gardner, CEO of Voyagier. “Through this investment from TEDCO, we are excited build out our agentic-ready, booking software that is powered by human travel data in a space that is ripe for AI tooling.”
“As the State of Maryland’s Venture Capital arm, we are always excited to see entrepreneurial innovation directed towards supporting others,” said Teddy Gresser, TEDCO’s senior director, Seed Funds. “Through this Seed Fund investment, we hope that Voyagier will be well-positioned to achieve sustained growth in the years ahead.”
