The funding round was led by a group of entrepreneurs including the founders of Sentia, Keylane, TicketSwap, Moneybird, and Revue. The round also saw participation from NL SportTech Ventures, an early-stage VC firm focused on Dutch sports technology.

Huppa Use of Funds

Huppa will use the newly raised capital to focus on the continued development of its gym management platform and to expand its internal team as it targets growth within the Netherlands and Belgium.
