- Europe’s leading developer community WeAreDevelopers raised a seven-figure investment from Round2 Capital.
- The funding will be used to catalyze the growth of the platform in the Netherlands and the UK.
- Founded in 2017, the platform provides tech content, perfect-fit job opportunities, and events throughout the year to support the professional and personal growth of developers.
The investment, provided by Round2 Capital with backing from the European Investment Fund (EIF), signals a significant leap forward for the company.
WeAreDevelopers’ CEO Sead Ahmetovic highlighted the importance of the round in advancing the company’s mission to foster the growth of its developer community and make a lasting impact on the tech industry.
“This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our journey, setting the stage for us to further amplify our developer community’s growth and our impact on the tech industry at large,” said Bosnia-born Ahmetovic.
WeAreDevelopers has already proven its value to organizations seeking to engage with software developers for recruitment and business development purposes. A host of global brands, including Volkswagen, Red Hat, GitHub, Vodafone, ING, Dynatrace, Bosch, Canva, and Hugo Boss, rely on its platform.
The company gained international acclaim through its flagship event, the WeAreDevelopers World Congress, which annually attracts over 15,000 participants and features more than 500 speakers, such as such as Steve Wozniak, Sir Tim-Berners-Lee, Amanda Silver, Cassie Kozyrkov, Garry Kasparov, and many more.
“We are excited to back WeAreDevelopers as they extend their reach into the Netherlands and the UK. Their development in the DACH region underscores their potential for success on the international stage. With software being core to our investment strategy, we believe in their vision for building a strong community and ecosystem in the development space, and are excited to be a part of the next phase of growth,” said Stefan Nagel, managing partner at Round2 Capital.
