Hopin Raises £5 Million Seed Funding to Expand Remote Events Platform

  • Hopin, a remote live online events company, has raised £5 million in seed funding led by Accel, with participation from Northzone, Seedcamp, Web Summit’s Amaranthine Fund and Slack Fund

  • The company provides a platform for organizers to create, host, and manage live events for up to 100,000 attendees

  • Hopin was founded by Johnny Boufarhat, who was frustrated with the lack of tools to collaborate and network with larger groups remotely

  • The company has seen incredible demand since its launch in July 2020, with over 1,000 events hosted on the platform and a 10,000-strong wait list of event organizers

  • The investment will be used to build out the platform, expand the team, and scale the business.
