Other key backers include Ashton Kutcher's A-Grade Investments and Baltcap. The funding was part of a major expansion to provide the app in New York City. It was at this stage that Sean Moriarty, former CEO of Ticketmaster, joined the Board of Directors. In 2014, the app received funding of $24 million (£16 million), according to TechCrunch. This brought the total funding of YPlan to just under $38 million. It was stated that the financing deal will allow the company to expand into other cities. On the 21 October 2016, YPlan was acquired by Time Out Group for 1.6 million GBP.
