Founded in 2005 by Fabian Pinckaers, Odoo was built to give businesses of all sizes access to powerful, flexible software traditionally reserved for large enterprises. By 2019, the company had grown to serve more than 4.5 million users worldwide through an open-core model that combined Odoo’s suite of proprietary enterprise applications with thousands of apps contributed by Odoo’s global community-built apps. Looking to build on this momentum, Summit partnered with Odoo to help accelerate product development, expand globally and reinforce its position as a category leader in all-in-one business management software.
How Summit Partners Helped
- Led a minority investment in 2019 and a €180M follow-on investment in 2021
- Collaborated closely with management to support Odoo’s vision of becoming the global leader in all-in-one business management software
- Supported a pricing initiative aimed at lowering costs for SMBs and increasing addressable market
- Worked with the company’s CFO to help expand the FP&A function and enhance reporting and financial controls
- Summit’s PPG engaged with Odoo’s marketing team in an effort to optimize online / offline strategy
- Supported the company on packaging initiatives, including vertically focused product packages designed to streamline customer onboarding and enable industry-targeting marketing initiatives
- Maintained a trusted, collaborative partnership with the board, existing investors and management, helping to drive alignment on key priorities as the business has rapidly scaled

Since Summit’s investment, Odoo has maintained a trajectory of strong and profitable growth, expanding its reach to more than 15 million users and 16,000 partners across 160+ countries. The company’s continued innovation, including the introduction of AI-powered capabilities, verticalized modules and a more intuitive user experience, has helped reinforce Odoo’s position as a global leader in integrated business software. In 2024, Odoo secured a €500 million investment led by CapitalG and Sequoia Capital, which we believe underscores the company’s scale, durable growth model and global brand strength. Summit remains Odoo’s largest institutional shareholder as the company continues to focus on building and delivering full-featured, tightly integrated software for businesses of all sizes.
