Clupik has closed its second round of financing, in which €750,000 is capitalized, which will be used to continue with your international expansion project. The Madrid startup, dedicated to the digitization of sports entities, is already present in more than 20 countries between Europe and Latin America.
The sports club management platform has raised 500,000 euros in private capital thanks to the co-investment of different Business Angels, including SportBoost, Iker Casillas’ accelerator for the world of sport.
The relationship between Clupik and SportBoost began at the end of 2021 when the United Arab Emirates Football Federation (UAE FA) and Dubai Future Foundation launched a challenge to digitize their sports entities, in which up to 100 companies from all over the world participated. Clupik was the startup selected by SportBoost to develop the last phase of the project in Dubai.
Now SportBoost takes this relationship a step further and decides to co-invest in Clupik, betting on this comprehensive solution that each help more clubs and sports entities to take the definitive leap towards digitization with its own website and personalized app.
The support of Iker Casillas
Iker Casillas assures that “At SportBoost we are very satisfied with the work that Clupik has done with the United Arab Emirates Football Federation and the Dubai Future Foundation. That is why we have not hesitated to accompany them in this international expansion. It is a very useful management tool for any sports organization”.
Thanks to this tool, sports institutions can obtain a saving of 75% of the time invested by the different departments, achieving a more efficient management.
Alvaro Herranz, CEO of Clupik, adds that «We are very happy with the trust and input of Iker Casillas and the SportBoost team in Clupik. His knowledge and experience, together with the rest of the financing, will allow us to continue with our growth and expansion, bringing us even closer to the first level of professional sport ».
In addition, ENISA (National Innovation Company) has also trusted this innovative business project, granting them a financial boost of an additional 240,000 euros. With this capital, Clupik plans to establish itself in Europe and continue expanding the development of its management tool with new functionalities and integrations to reach a greater number of sports modalities around the world.
