Kidola, the all-in-one childcare management platform based in Luxembourg, has announced the closing of a €1.3 million Seed Round. The funding will support product development, team growth, and the company’s expansion into the French market.
Kidola was born out of personal experience: all three founders became parents around the same time. Like many, they forgot to notify upcoming absences or request extended
hours—small oversights with a big impact. Realizing that these daily challenges affected not only parents but also educators and administrators, they set out to build a solution that would simplify operations for everyone involved.
Founded by Jonathan Kindermans, Quentin de Madre, and Simon Lelorrain, Kidola centralizes all essential childcare management functions into a single, intuitive platform.
“We created Kidola because we saw a real need for simplification—not in how children are cared for or educated, but in the system that supports them.Our goal is to help professionals and parents spend as little time as possible on Kidola, so they can focus on what really matters.” - Quentin de Madre, CEO and co-founder.
As parental expectations for flexibility rise, and as governments introduce stricter regulations and reporting standards, administrative complexity for childcare centers continues to grow.
Without robust digital tools, these pressures risk overwhelming even the most experienced teams. Already trusted by over 30,000 caregivers across Luxembourg, France, and Belgium, Kidola offers a complete suite of tools—from parent communication and attendance tracking to invoicing and regulatory compliance—without requiring extensive training. Unlike many other apps, Kidola puts usability first, allowing educators and administrators to stay focused on the children.
“This investment brings us closer to our vision of becoming Europe’s leading platform for childcare management.” - Quentin de Madre.
With this new funding, Kidola will expand its team, enhance its analytics and reporting capabilities, and deepen its presence in France.
The Seed Round was led by Expon Capital, a Luxembourg-based venture capital firm.
“Kidola has both the ambition and the early KPIs of a future multi-country SaaS leader. This is exactly the kind of company we love to fund—and know how to support. We’re proud to be part of their journey.” - Alain Rodermann, Managing Partner at Expon Capital.
