Walloon technology company Odoo, which delivers open source software, reached a market value of 3.75 billion euros this summer, well behind Team.blue, the company behind web hosting provider Combell. At that time, Team.blue had a market value of almost five billion euros. Odoo now has a market value of five billion euros, making it the highest valued Belgian technology company.
This market value increased due to a significant investment from several large venture capital funds. New investors include US venture capital funds CapitalG (Alphabet), Sequoia and BlackRock, Mubadala Investment Company, HarbourVest Partners, AVP and Alkeon. Summit Partners, Noshaq and Wallonie Entreprendre are selling part of their shares. Summit remains Odoo’s largest institutional shareholder.
