Dorsia Secures $50.4M to Revolutionize the Global Hospitality Industry
Dorsia, the Miami-based hospitality and tech startup, has raised $50.4 million in funding across its Seed and Series A rounds, valuing the company at $146 million. Announced on February 14, 2025, this funding round was led by Index Ventures, with backing from notable investors, including Naomi Gleit (Meta), Todd Dagres (Spark), Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty (Uber), and Jack Abraham (Atomic). Industry giants such as David Grutman (Groot Hospitality), Simon Kim (Gracious Hospitality), and Jeff Zalaznick have also invested, solidifying Dorsia’s position as a game-changer in high-end hospitality.
A New Era of Reservation Access
Founded in 2022 by serial entrepreneur and CEO Marc Lotenberg, Dorsia is redefining hospitality with its members-only dining and social access platform. Unlike traditional reservation systems, Dorsia provides entry to the world’s most sought-after restaurants, ensuring guaranteed bookings and premium spending at exclusive venues.
Global Reach:
With 300+ partner venues across New York, Miami, London, Los Angeles, Dubai, Mexico City, and seasonal hotspots (Ibiza, St. Tropez, St. Barth, Aspen, and the Hamptons), Dorsia is establishing a worldwide luxury dining network.
Dorsia Pay:
A patented payment technology that eliminates the wait for the bill, allowing users to seamlessly exit venues without hassle.
Explosive Growth:
The company’s revenue tripled in 2024, with membership applications surging 75% year-over-year.
A Membership Model Designed for the Elite
In November 2024, Dorsia launched its tiered membership model, designed to cater to a range of hospitality connoisseurs:
Entry-Level Membership: $175 per year
Dorsia Premium Plus: $25,000 per year, offering VIP client dining, premium wine selections, and exclusive entertainment.
Since launching paid membership, the platform has seen record-breaking increases in bookings, restaurant GMV, and overall revenue.
Dorsia’s Vision: The Future of Hospitality
“The hospitality industry is broken—riddled with inefficiencies, underground economies, and outdated systems that make access to the best experiences frustrating and unpredictable. Just like Uber revolutionized mobility, Dorsia is doing the same for dining and social life.”
Marc Lotenberg, CEO of Dorsia
He adds, “We’re building the future where people don’t just book a table—they power their entire social calendar through Dorsia.”
Beyond Dining: Dorsia Expands into Events
Dorsia is expanding beyond fine dining, launching an exclusive event platform. The company hosted Sol Y Sol, a 2,000-person gathering at Miami Design District during Art Basel, and continues its global expansion:
Mexico City launch during Zona Maco Fair
Mykonos debut scheduled for summer 2025, strengthening its European Summer offerings
With a mission to transform hospitality through technology and seamless access, Dorsia is reshaping how the luxury audience experiences dining, events, and nightlife worldwide.
