<\/span>About Nubelo<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nubelo<\/a> <\/span>\u00a0based in Barcelona, was founded in 2012 by Spanish entrepreneur Francesc Font and Argentinian brothers Nicol\u00e1s and Jorge Araujo Muller.<\/span><\/p>\n

Already from his first year of life he received a seed round and after that he has done 4 more, achieving a total of $<\/sup>3.4M and giving space to renowned investors in our country such as Caixa Capital Risc, Nero Ventures, South Ventures, Start-Up Chile, Mountain Nazca & South Ventures.<\/span><\/p>\n

In July 2015 Nubelo bought Prolancer.com.br<\/a>,<\/span> a Brazilian platform founded by Sergio Mendez Baiges, with offices in S\u00e3o Paulo, to expand its reach into the Portuguese market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nubelo was currently the largest freelance platform in the Spanish-speaking market after Freelancer.com, with 50 employees in its offices located in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Bogota and Sao Paulo, Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we look at its financial data, it has managed to grow very rapidly. The investment rounds received have allowed it to grow inorganically (purchase of Prolancer) and to invest in assets. As it is a recently created technology company, it still has a negative Ebitda, but this is normal for a recently created company that is trying to position itself as a leader in its sector in the market and for this it needs to invest heavily.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sydney-based company, founded in 2009, has a growth strategy of acquiring competitors in various markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding the acquisition of Nubelo, Freelancer continues to grow exponentially in the Spanish-speaking market. In 2012, in Latin America, it had only 0.2% of operations. Four years later, this market now represents 10% of Freelancer's total revenue, with 1.8 million users who have uploaded 500,000 projects.<\/span><\/p>\n
