Funnel is a software company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.[3] It was founded in 2014 and as of 2023 has offices in Dublin, London and Boston, MA.
History[edit]
Funnel was founded in 2014 by Per Made and Fredrik Skantze, who developed an advertising tool called Qwaya for Facebook.[4] The company opened a second location in Boston, Massachusetts in 2016.[5]
In 2017, Funnel raised €8.3 million ($10 million) in a funding round led by Balderton Capital.[6] As part of that fundraising, Suranga Chandratillake also joined the board.[6]
In January 2020, the company raised €42.6 million ($47 million) in Series B funding.[7][8][9] One year later, the company announced it closed a new pre-IPO funding round worth €57.1 million ($66 million).[10][11]
In June 2020, Funnel won TechCrunch’s The Europas Award 2020.[12] Financial Times included the company in the list of Europe's fastest growing companies in 2021,[13] 2022,[14] 2023[15] and 2024[16] consecutively. In 2023, Funnel was listed as one of 100 'Next Unicorns' by VivaTech and GP Bullhound.[17]
Partnerships[edit]
Funnel collaborates with Media and marketing agencies like IndieAd and Havas[18][19] and also with several technology companies, enabling data to flow to and from their software, one of which is Google Cloud.[20]
