Travel platform Navan opens Boston office

• Navan leaders say the state's investments supporting artificial intelligence also drew them to Boston.

Driving the news: Navan is leasing office space for 50 employees out of WeWork in the Seaport.

• The company started using the space earlier this year and plans to officially open on March 10.

What they're saying: "By setting up shop right next to some of the world's top universities and the most innovative companies, we're making sure Navan is positioned to be fueled by one of the smartest, most competitive talent pools in the country," Grant McGrail, Navan's chief revenue officer, said in a statement.

Zoom in: Navan went public in October at $25 a share, giving it a market valuation of $6.2 billion.

• Some of its major clients include Zoom, Netflix, OpenAI and Anthropic, which opened an office in Cambridge.
