We're excited to announce a €5 million extension to our funding round, bringing our total raise to €11 million.
A new milestone for a project born from a simple belief: B2B commerce deserves better.
We all see it every day: B2B commerce remains one of the last major sectors yet to go through its digital revolution.
Millions of companies still operate with data scattered across departments, sales channels that don't talk to each other, and teams that spend more time chasing down information than actually growing the business.
The result: structural drag that holds back growth and means lost commercial opportunities, day after day.
At Volta, we started with a simple belief: B2B needs a new Operating System—one that can automate all this complexity, bring scattered data together, and put commercial teams back in the driver's seat.
Today, we've hit a new milestone.
€11M raised in just 12 months to fuel our European ambition
We're excited to announce a €5 million extension to our funding round, bringing our total raise to €11 million.
This round is led by RTP Global, one of the world's leading international software investors—backers of companies like Qonto, SumUp, and Datadog—alongside several of our existing investors: Emblem, Robin Capital, and Founders Future, plus new business angels joining the journey.
This funding backs our push to scale across Europe and cement our technological lead in AI-powered B2B automation.
"We're building European technology for the businesses that power our real economy," says Paul Guillemin, co-founder and CEO of Volta. "B2B makes up 80% of global commerce, yet it's one of the least digitized sectors out there. Our goal is simple: bring speed, transparency, and intelligence back to commerce between businesses."
Pascal Houillon joins us: a major statement for the industry
Alongside RTP Global, we're particularly excited to welcome Pascal Houillon, former CEO of Cegid and Sage, who's joining as an investor and strategic advisor.
With over 25 years leading European B2B software giants, Pascal brings deep expertise in markets, products, and international scale. His backing is a huge stamp of approval and validation of our vision.
"What Volta is building goes way beyond automation," says Pascal Houillon. "It's a fundamentally new approach to B2B software: smarter, smoother, more integrated. The team has sharp vision, moves fast, and truly gets the on-the-ground realities."
An intelligent automation platform already live with European distributors
In under two years, we've built and shipped an AI-powered commercial automation platform, now running with distributors across France and Italy.
Our platform helps sales and operations teams:
- Centralize all catalogs, pricing, and orders in one place
- Automate order capture and processing from emails, PDFs, or WhatsApp
- Generate dynamic quotes and pricing tailored to each customer
- Boost sales with AI recommendations that help teams sell better, faster
The numbers tell the story: up to 90% of manual work automated, +11% average sales lift, and over 7 hours saved per person every week.
Our ambition: build a European AI champion for B2B
With this round, we're hitting the accelerator on our two core markets: France and Italy.
We're now nearly 30 people across Paris and Milan, and we're planning to double the team over the next 12 months.
"Our mission is to make B2B a hotbed of innovation again," adds Paul Guillemin. "We believe in European tech sovereignty, and in AI that makes work simpler, not harder. The future of B2B commerce has to be automated, human, and European."
What this round means for the European B2B ecosystem
This funding and Pascal's arrival signal a real shift in European B2B. While American and Chinese giants push their platforms, we're building a European alternative, made by and for European businesses.
By combining deep industry know-how with cutting-edge AI, we're set on becoming one of the forces driving B2B modernization across Europe—and proving that homegrown tech can go toe-to-toe with the global players.
Thanks to everyone backing us from day one: our investors, customers, team, and everyone who believes we can shake up B2B. This milestone is yours too.
