Paris-based Naboo acquires UK meetings and events specialist pro-ven following €58.7 million Series B

What happened

Naboo, a Paris-based EventTech scale-up, has joined forces with UK specialist pro-ven, bringing together two of the Meetings and Events (M&E) sector’s prominent names.

The tie-up pairs Naboo’s technological scale with proven client expertise in the UK market, where the former has been expanding since opening a London office in 2025 and has signed clients such as KPMG and HSBC.

Together, the combined entity now oversees €269 million ($300 million) in meetings and events worldwide. The move follows Naboo’s €58.7 million Series B funding round earlier this year, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and existing investors Notion Capital, ISAI, and Ternel.

Founded in 2022 by Eduardo, Antoine Servant, Lucien Bredin, and Jean-Louis Villeminot, Naboo is a platform for booking, managing, and running corporate events, also known as MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions). Its offering spans venue sourcing, AI-assisted procurement, corporate payment cards, accounts payable, and event planning tools for organisers and participants.

The company aims to replace the fragmented event tools with its AI operating system, which operates with intelligent agents to handle sourcing, quote comparisons, contract review, and payment processing automatically.
