Holded is a Spanish technology company that develops cloud-based business management software for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), self-employed professionals, and accounting firms. Its platform allows the centralization of operations such as invoicing, accounting, inventory, human resources, and project management in a single digital environment.
History
Holded was founded in Barcelona in 2016 by Javier Fondevila and Bernat Ripoll. In mid-2016, Holded joined the SeedRocket accelerator program and obtained €239,000 in initial funding, officially launching in September 2016.
In January 2018, Holded raised €1.3 million in a funding round led by Nauta Capital and 4Founders Capital. In April 2019, Holded raised an additional €6 million in a Series A funding round led by Lakestar. In February 2021, a Series B funding round worth €15 million was carried out, led by Elaia. At that time, Holded had raised approximately €22 million in total funding.
In June 2021, Holded was acquired by the Norwegian software group Visma.
