Barcelona-based toddl.co secures €500k in pre-seed funding. The impact venture capital firm Fondo Bolsa Social led this round, which also included a €195k loan from ENISA and supporting from business angels Marta Antunez (Wayra/ChicPlace), Edurne de Oteiza (Wallapop), and Banco Sabadell's BStartup.
Stephanie Meagher, Co-Founder and CEO of toddl.co said, “Social impact has always been at the core of our business, Through our platform, we aim to provide greater access to extracurricular activities for more children, to empower small business owners – the majority of whom are women – in the digitisation of their businesses, and to provide enriching childcare alternatives for working parents, who often struggle with family reconciliation. We’re thrilled to continue driving toward this mission with the support of our new partners.”
With this new investment, Toddl.co will be enabled to further strengthen their position as the industry leader in Spain and set the stage for future worldwide growth through growing their sales and marketing team and accelerating product development in order to meet their target of 15,000 enterprises and 50.000 families by 2024.
