Barcelona’s QualiBooth Secures €2 Million Funding to Expand Digital Accessibility Tools Across Europe

The new investment will support expansion into more European markets, starting with a new office in Barcelona.

QualiBooth helps businesses meet global accessibility standards like the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and the European Accessibility Act (EAA), which became mandatory on 28 June.

The EAA applies to a wide range of services like e-commerce sites, banking apps, ticketing platforms, and more—making accessibility a legal requirement for many.

With over 1.3 billion people worldwide living with disabilities, QualiBooth’s mission is more relevant than ever. Its AI-powered platform integrates directly into product development workflows, helping teams detect and fix accessibility issues faster and more effectively.

So far, it has performed 1,000+ audits and resolved billions of issues—detecting up to 20% more problems than traditional tools.

Ken Kralick, CEO of QualiBooth and former Global Head of eCommerce at Puma and LVMH, explained: Awareness around the link between LLM visibility and digital accessibility is improving, but remains surprisingly low. What’s more, less than 30% of European retailers currently publish accessibility statements - yet as of June 28th, the EAA requires many to do so. We’re here to ensure compliance doesn’t come at the expense of user experience or brand trust.

Clients using QualiBooth's platform report accessibility scores above 90—much higher than the industry average of 63. The company’s upcoming research on European eCommerce shows a clear link between better accessibility and increased online revenue. One reason is that accessible brands are more visible in Large Language Models (LLMs), which boosts their discoverability.

The new funding will help QualiBooth grow its product, expand further in Europe, and strengthen its market presence. Its new Barcelona office will become a base for customer success, marketing, and product design. The company also plans to grow in the US.
