History

[edit]

Founding (2015–2018)

Dixa was founded in 2015 in Copenhagen, Denmark, by four individuals with backgrounds in customer service technology.[4] The company developed a platform aimed at consolidating customer service communications.[5] Dixa launched commercially in 2018.[6]

In 2018, Dixa received the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year award in the Start-up category in Denmark.[7]

In February 2019, Dixa raised $14 million in Series A funding led by Project A Ventures, with participation from SEED Capital.[8]

In February 2020, the company closed a $36 million Series B round led by Notion Capital, with participation from Project A Ventures and SEED Capital.[9] By this stage, Dixa had expanded to around 120 employees across five international offices.[10]

In July 2021, Dixa announced a $105 million Series C led by General Atlantic, with participation from existing investors. The raise was among the largest Series C financings for a Danish SaaS company at the time.[11][12] According to Danish financial daily Børsen, the funding positioned Dixa to expand globally and even consider a potential U.S. IPO by 2025.[13]

By mid-2021, Dixa reported more than 200 employees worldwide and over 700 customers, including brands such as Epic Games, Wistia, and Rapha.[14]
