Odoo S.A. has achieved sustained annual growth of 40% and is projected to exceed $683 million in billings within the next 12 months, with a target of reaching €1 billion in billings by 2027.

With this latest investment, Odoo S.A.’s valuation has reached €5 billion.
“Fabien and his team have built a one-of-a-kind business from their ambitious vision for a unified suite of tightly integrated business apps,” said Alex Nichols, partner at CapitalG, the independent growth firm of Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company. “Odoo’s powerful and easy-to-use suite of apps has won over customers across more than 100 countries and virtually every industry, as well as companies with anywhere from one to thousands of employees. The team’s two decades of dedication and long-term thinking have fostered a robust community of partners, contributors, and users that will serve as their foundation for years to come. We are thrilled to partner with Fabien and the rest of Odoo’s leadership team.”
“Odoo has built an outstanding software company with a unique culture, product suite, and ecosystem,” said Andrew Reed, partner at Sequoia Capital. “Odoo is a tremendous business already, and it feels like their best days are still ahead. Odoo has the long-term potential to transform the SMB software market and deliver enormous value to customers. We’re excited to partner with Fabien and the Odoo team for the long term.“
The recent launch of Odoo 18, the most advanced iteration of the company’s software, on October 2nd strengthens the company’s market position and enhances overall performance and customer experience.
“ERPs are traditionally expensive and resource-intensive to implement, often failing to meet the actual needs and evolving requirements of SMEs. We have developed a unique value proposition that is playing a pivotal role in the market,” explains Fabien Pinckaers, founder and CEO of Odoo S.A.
This €500 million investment exemplifies the international recognition and trust that Odoo has garnered within the investment community. Following investments led by Summit Partners in 2019, 2021 and 2022, this latest round further highlights Odoo’s appeal to investors.
Faris Al Mazrui, Head of Growth at Mubadala, said, “Odoo stands out as a prime example of innovation in global software, offering scalable, adaptable solutions that empower businesses in the digital and cloud transformation journey. With Mubadala’s expertise in software investments and the UAE’s role as a fast-growing tech hub, we see Odoo as an exceptional partner for companies adapting to cloud and AI megatrends. We’re excited to support their growth worldwide”.
“Odoo continues to deliver solutions that we believe are helping to transform the business software landscape – and they are doing so with impressive traction,” added Antony Clavel, a Managing Director at Summit Partners who has served on the Odoo Board of Directors since Summit’s initial investment in 2019. “We are delighted to welcome new investors and look forward to working together to support Odoo’s exciting growth trajectory.” Following this transaction, Summit remains Odoo’s largest institutional shareholder.
Odoo does not stop here. For 2025, the unicorn is already expecting many more opportunities and expansion projects, enhancing Odoo’s capabilities for research and development and allowing accelerated innovation in its product offerings.
“We are expecting to open five new subsidiaries within the next three years across Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific,” said Sebastien Bruyr, Odoo S.A. Chief Commercial Officer. Odoo’s Chief Finance Officer, Alessandro Mazzocchetti, added, “I’m confident that Odoo will remain profitable in terms of EBITDA and Cash Flow as we expand our team and global reach. We will keep working hard to serve our customers and partners!”.
For Olivier Vanderijst, CEO of Wallonie Entreprendre (WE), “the visionary and strategic nature of Odoo’s management and the rigour with which it has implemented this vision have led to an incredible valuation of 5 billion euros, which has attracted the best investors in the world. This is why WE have signed this transaction while remaining a shareholder in the company to support its future growth as a local player”.
J.P. Morgan SE acted as the exclusive placement agent on this transaction.
