Framer, new European Code champion, raises 85.6 million euros and aims for the American market

Dutch startup Framer announced a raising of 85.6 million euros in series D, promoting 1.7 billion euros. The tour was led by historic investors Meritech and Atomico, joined by Wil and HV Capital. “Framer has reached financial balance during the past year, which led our existing investors, Meritech and Atomico, to offer us a new round. »» indicate the two founding co Koen Bok and Jorn Van Dijk

Framer offers a NO-Code platform that allows marketing and design teams to create, deploy and optimize websites without using developers. Designed as an alternative to historical solutions like Squarespace or Wix, the platform incorporates a CMS, a responsive design editor, A/B testing tools, conversion monitoring and real -time collaboration.

Adopted by companies like Perplexity, Scale AI, Mixpanel or Miro, Framer claims more than 500,000 active users each month and now feeds several hundred thousand sites. The solution has found a special place with startups, constrained by short deadlines and limited development resources. Almost half of Y Combinator’s latest batch has chosen to launch its marketing sites on Framer, a sign of a change of practices in the ecosystem.

The company, which had started as an interactive prototyping tool before pivoting full web development, has reached financial balance for a year. The new capital contribution must support its American expansion, and accelerate the development of artificial intelligence features. Among the recent new features, direct publishing on page illustrates this orientation towards more speed and flexibility.

Founded in 2014 in Amsterdam by Koen Bok and Jorn Van Dijk, Framer is present in Amsterdam, San Francisco, New York and Barcelona. The company has already raised $ 27 million in 2023. With this new funding of 85.6 million euros in series D led by Meritech, Atomico, Wiil and HV Capital, it now aims to strengthen its position as European Code champion and to accelerate its growth on the American market.
