Barcelona-based digital accessibility startup QualiBooth has raised €2 million in fresh funding to drive its growth across Europe and accelerate its entry into the United States market. The company also announced strategic partnerships with several leading global retailers as part of its expansion efforts.
Founded in 2022, QualiBooth is gaining recognition as a go-to platform for web accessibility compliance, offering real-time scanning, monitoring, dashboards, and development guidance to ensure organizations meet ADA, WCAG, and EAA standards.
With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) now in effect as of June 28th, many EU businesses are required to make digital services like banking apps, e-commerce platforms, ticketing sites, and customer service portals accessible to people with disabilities. QualiBooth’s platform supports this shift, detecting up to 20% more issues than conventional accessibility tools, and enabling meaningful, actionable improvements—far beyond what standard overlays and widgets provide.
The newly raised capital will support product development and strengthen QualiBooth’s European market footprint, with its Barcelona office acting as the operational hub for product design, marketing, and customer success. The company is also targeting rapid growth in the U.S., where ADA compliance is gaining renewed attention.
CEO Ken Kralick, former Global Head of eCommerce at Puma and LVMH, emphasized the growing link between digital accessibility and online visibility in Large Language Models (LLMs). According to upcoming research by QualiBooth, brands with higher accessibility not only build stronger user trust but also perform better in online sales and LLM-based discovery—yet less than 30% of European retailers currently publish accessibility statements.
To date, QualiBooth has conducted over 1,000 accessibility audits, resolving billions of compliance issues. Clients using the platform achieve accessibility scores above 90, far exceeding the industry average of 63.
As awareness grows, QualiBooth is positioning itself as an essential tool for brands aiming to be inclusive, visible, and legally compliant—without compromising on user experience or brand integrity.
