Holded is a Spanish technology company that develops cloud-based business management software, enterprise resource planning (ERP), for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), self-employed professionals, and accounting firms.[1] Its platform allows the centralization of operations such as invoicing, accounting, inventory, human resources, and project management in a single digital environment.[1][2] The company is headquartered in Barcelona and was founded in 2016 by Javier Fondevila and Bernat Ripoll.[1][3][4]

Holded was acquired by the Norwegian software group Visma in 2021 in a deal reported in the media at about €120 million.[1][5][6]

History

Holded was founded in Barcelona in 2016 by Javier Fondevila and Bernat Ripoll.[1][3][4] In mid-2016, Holded joined the SeedRocket accelerator program and obtained €239,000 in initial funding, officially launching in September 2016.[7] El País reported that the founders connected through Facebook and began developing Holded as a subscription-based cloud management tool aimed at SMEs and freelancers in Spain.[1]

In January 2018, Holded raised €1.3 million in a funding round led by Nauta Capital and 4Founders Capita, with participation from other investors.[8][9][10] In April 2019, Holded raised an additional €6 million in a Series A funding round led by Lakestar.[11] In February 2021, a Series B funding round worth €15 million was carried out, led by Elaia Partners, with participation from Lakestar, Nauta Capital and SeedRocket, among others.[12][13][14][15] At that time, Holded had raised approximately €22 million in total funding.[14]

In June 2021, Holded was acquired by the Norwegian software group Visma, and Visma stated that Holded would join the Visma group while continuing to focus on the Spanish SMB market.[4][16][17][3] Media outlets reported the purchase price as about €120 million.[2][6][5]

Operations

Holded is headquartered in Barcelona and primarily provides services in Spain. In the early 2020s, it began expanding into other European countries.[14][18]

El País reported that Holded had more than 80,000 customers and a workforce of more than 100 people around the time of its acquisition by Visma in 2021.[1] Visma’s acquisition story for Holded reported that the company had about 150 employees and served more than 80,000 companies in Spain, and it cited 2021 revenue of €7.4 million.[3]
