Dojo Raises $190M to Accelerate In-Person Commerce Growth
UK-based payments technology provider Dojo has secured a $190 million investment from Vitruvian Partners to accelerate growth in its home market and expand into Ireland, Italy, and Spain.
Launched in 2021, Dojo delivers a cloud-native platform for in-person and digital payments, serving over 140,000 UK businesses and processing up to 9 million transactions daily. Initially focused on SMBs, Dojo is now gaining traction with larger enterprises by offering value-added services like business funding, booking tools, and embedded payment capabilities.
“This investment gives us the momentum to scale across Europe and enable seamless in-person commerce,” said Francois Callens, CFO of Dojo. Vitruvian’s Stephen Byrne added that Dojo is well-positioned to lead the shift toward integrated payment experiences.
The company recently signed an agreement with American Express, allowing small business clients to accept Amex payments via a unified contract. With mobile devices playing a central role in in-store shopping, Dojo continues to enhance its omnichannel capabilities to meet evolving customer expectations.
