Inspirato is a luxury travel subscription company providing affluent travelers access to a curated portfolio of 300+ vacation residences, five-star hotel partners, and bespoke experiences worldwide. Founded in 2011 by brothers Brent and Brad Handler (co-founders of Exclusive Resorts), Inspirato pioneered a subscription-based model for high-end leisure travel serving more than 11,000 subscribers. The company went public via SPAC merger with Thayer Ventures Acquisition Corp in February 2022 on NASDAQ under ticker ISPO at a roughly $1.1B initial valuation, but its share price collapsed amid post-pandemic travel softness and execution challenges. After multiple CEO transitions, going-concern warnings, and trading distress, Inspirato was acquired in February 2026 by Exclusive Investments LLC (parent of Exclusive Resorts) for $4.27/share (~$59M) and delisted from Nasdaq, becoming part of the newly formed Exclusive Collective alongside Exclusive Resorts and onefinestay.
