Transparent, acquired by OTA Insight in 2022, built and maintained the leading data intelligence platform for the global vacation rental market. Founded in 2016 by Pierre Becerril, Nil Sanz, and Drew Patterson, the platform collected millions of anonymized reservations and indexed over 36 million listings globally, helping property managers, investors, and travel agencies make informed decisions about pricing, occupancy, and competition in the short-term rental industry.
"Accurate data is imperative to making sound business decisions in the short-term rental market, and Transparent built the definitive platform for it. Our investment gave us valuable insight into vacation rental market dynamics, and the company’s acquisition by OTA Insight validated its position as the leader in the space."

"One in every three beds available to travelers in the U.S. is hosted in a vacation rental. As travelers’ appetite for this type of accommodation grew, we saw a need for business intelligence tools to help market participants make informed decisions on pricing, investment, and strategy. SKY VC’s interest in our company reaffirmed that vacation rentals are a major player in the travel and hospitality ecosystem."
