Huppa raises €1M pre-seed for gym management software
The Amsterdam-based startup secured fresh capital from Dutch tech operators and NL SportTech Ventures to modernize fitness business tools.
Huppa, an Amsterdam-based software company established in 2024, has raised €1 million (about $1.13 million) in pre-seed financing on Oct. 19 [1]. The startup is building an operating system designed to handle the day-to-day administrative workflow of class-based gyms, CrossFit boxes, and boutique fitness studios [1].
The funding group includes venture firm NL SportTech Ventures alongside the founders of Sentia, Keylane, TicketSwap, Moneybird, and Revue [1]. Huppa was co-founded by Sharief Mohamed and Gino Arendsz [1].
According to the company, fitness business operators have long been constrained by legacy administration tools, noting that "many gyms, CrossFit boxes, and studios still rely on outdated software" [1]. The startup positions its product as an integrated platform consolidating scheduling, membership management, and back-office analytics into a single administrative suite [1].
Proceeds from the round will support further product engineering on the core platform as well as targeted additions to the company's operating team [1].
