Naboo is a French software company headquartered in Paris that develops a business-to-business platform for corporate event procurement and management.[1]

History

Naboo was founded in Paris in April 2022 by Maxime Eduardo, Antoine Servant, Lucien Bredin, and Jean-Louis Villeminot.[2] The company originally launched as a booking platform for remote worker countryside retreats.[3] In January 2023, the company shifted its operational focus to corporate event procurement.[2]

In February 2024, Naboo raised €7.5 million in a funding round led by ISAI and Kima Ventures.[4] Later that year, the company entered the United Kingdom market and acquired BizMeeting, a French venue-finding agency previously owned by Joy (formerly Privateaser).[5]

In January 2025, Naboo raised €20 million in a Series A funding round led by Notion Capital, with participation from ISAI and Ternel.[6][7] In February 2026, the company raised $70 million in a Series B funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and opened an office in New York.[8]

In June 2026, Naboo joined the French Tech 120 programme.[9] The same month, the company announced the opening of an office in Singapore.[3]

Naboo provides software designed for the procurement and coordination of corporate meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE).[10] The company provides tools for venue sourcing, supplier management, budgeting, and payment processing for corporate events.[11]

The company operates in Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region.[12] Co-founder Maxime Eduardo has served as the chief executive officer since the company's inception.[13]
