Former Remington CEO launches AI Hospitality Group

US: Sloan Dean, the former CEO of Remington Hospitality, has launched an AI-native hotel operating company called AI Hospitality Group. 

Dean is joined by co-founder and CTO Kishan Dahya, chief operating officer Eve Moore, and founding partner and head of data and analytics, Zach Cunningham.

AIHG combines a 60-plus autonomous agent back-office with a guest-facing hospitality team. 

It brings together more than 20 disparate data sources in a single model, enabling AI agents to manage workflows across recruiting, accounting, revenue management, marketing, and more. With agents handling back-office work, on-property teams are allowed more time hosting guests. 

The company expects to deliver ~500 basis points of GOP margin improvement to owners.

“Hotel owners don’t have a tools problem. They have an operating model problem,” said Dean. “The industry has spent a decade buying software while EBITDA margins eroded from roughly 30 per cent to 20 per cent. AIHG isn’t another vendor selling a dashboard. We sign the management agreement, take responsibility for the P&L, and deliver the outcome. AI runs the back office so humans can run the guest experience.”

AIHG launches with $7.5 million in seed funding led by Rackhouse Venture Capital, with participation from Sierra Ventures and Dynamo Ventures. The round also includes strategic angel investors across hospitality ownership, brand, and technology leadership. 

Kevin Novak, general partner and founder of Rackhouse Venture Capital, joins AIHG as a board observer. He said: “As Uber’s first head of data science, I know what it looks like when software fundamentally rewires the economics of a physical, operationally intense industry. That’s exactly what AIHG is doing to hotel management. At Rackhouse, we invest in AI applied to the real world, and the combination of Sloan’s operating track record, Kishan’s technical depth, and a model where AIHG signs the management agreement and owns the outcome is the most compelling application of agentic AI to hospitality we’ve seen.”

The capital will fund the expansion of AIHG’s agentic platform and the onboarding of its first wave of managed hotels.

It builds on AIHG’s two design partnerships with the independent Ameswell Hotel in Mountain View, California, and Parable Hospitality, a California-based management platform.
