Summary
On the occasion of its tenth anniversary, Holded co-founders Javi Fondevilla and Bernat Ripoll look back on the development of their management platform for Spanish SMEs and self-employed workers. Acquired by the Visma group in 2021 for €210 million, the company now claims 900,000 users and annual recurring revenue that grew fivefold between 2021 and 2025. According to the founders, the platform now includes an AI agent, Coney, which can migrate data, generate reports or automate tasks using natural language, and automates up to 95% of users' accounting tasks; users manage more than 15 million invoices a year. The founders also mention mandatory e-invoicing as a growth opportunity.
