As part of the investment, Odoo was also given a &#8220;unicorn-sized&#8221; company valuation. While the exact valuation was not disclosed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embroker.com\/blog\/unicorn-startups\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the &#8220;unicorn&#8221; term<\/a> refers to a startup valued at over $1 billion.

With various pricing points for different needs, Odoo is an accessible option for growing companies looking for a solution that can scale alongside them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Summit Partner&#8217;s investment in Odoo takes the form of acquired shares previously held by Sofinnova Partners and XAnge, who had invested in Odoo in 2010 and 2015, respectively.

In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.odoo.com\/blog\/odoo-news-5\/odoo-is-now-a-unicorn-so-what-784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post<\/a>, Fabien Pinckaers said the reason for this is because the company&#8217;s open-source platform is profitable and that he intends &#8220;to keep the majority of the shares <span style=\"font-size: 1em\">to guarantee our long-term commitment to the project and to the open-source community.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Later in the blog post that he wrote to announce the news, Pinckaers also said, &#8220;This transaction is nothing more than a strong proof of confidence from the market. Nothing changes for us. Our focus remains on developing a great product and making it accessible to a large number of companies. That&#8217;s what matters.
