Here’s some news about the progress of social hostel booking site InBed.me. They just launched last year, and they have been rapidly gaining momentum.
Social Travel: InBed.me, An Airbnb For Hostel Hoppers, Picks Up A $1.2M Seed Round
“social” hostel booking site inBed.me is announcing that it has raised a seed round of $1.2 million, from a list of investors including Ventech, Quotidian Ventures, CAP Ventures and founders Fabrice Grinda (OLX, Zingy) and Dave Lerner (Columbia Venture Labs, Venture Studio), among others.
They are also teaming up with HW to expand the number of properties that they can offer.
This was a smart move on the part of inBed.me, because in a sense Hostelworld is probably its biggest competitor.
In addition to booking beds, inbed.me lets travelers see who else will be staying at their hostel so they can start to network before they even arrive.

It would be interesting to see how inBed.me would be able to generate interest among budget travelers and competitors like airbnb and others
