Qondor is a cloud-based meetings, events, and group travel management platform purpose-built for the MICE industry. It centralizes proposals, budgets, attendee management, invoicing, reconciliation, reporting, and sustainability tracking in one system, aiming to replace fragmented, spreadsheet-heavy workflows for TMCs, event agencies, DMCs, venues, and conference hotels. The company operates globally with teams across Oslo and Trondheim (Norway), Gothenburg (Sweden), and the UK (London and Birmingham), supporting customers across Europe, the US, South Africa, Australia, and Canada.
Qondor was founded in 2014 in Oslo, Norway, by industry practitioners who set out to “bring order to chaos” in meetings and events operations, embedding domain expertise into the product’s design and workflows. Over time, it evolved from regional deployments to a global platform, with its “About us” page noting expansion across multiple continents and staffed hubs in Scandinavia and the UK to get closer to customers and drive outcomes such as efficiency and profitability. A notable growth marker was the 2024 partnership with GlobalStar Travel Management, which opened Qondor access to a large TMC network operating in 2,500+ locations across 55+ countries; the announcement cited Qondor’s support for the entire M&E workflow and reported the platform helping manage 30,000+ events for 20,000+ clients that year.
Public data indicates Qondor raised an angel round of ~$980,000 on December 29, 2017, with individual investor Per Braathen participating. CB Insights lists the total raised at $980K and references a post-money valuation from December 2017 (exact figure gated behind their subscription). No further primary-source disclosures of later funding or current valuation are publicly available; subsequent growth appears driven by product adoption, partnerships, and customer traction rather than frequent capital raises.
Qondor’s platform spans the full event lifecycle:
Qondor’s roadmap and release cadence emphasize frequent, value-driven updates:
Qondor’s culture is rooted in “built for the industry, by the industry”—many staff are former customers or event professionals, reflecting empathy for MICE realities like tight lead times, complex logistics, and margin pressures. The narrative stresses partnership over pure software, focusing on operational excellence, standardization, and measurable results for customers. The company promotes security and trust (ISO 27001), compliance (GDPR-ready retention/anonymization), and practical enablement (training, webinars, academy content, and help center guidance), reinforcing a customer-success orientation.
Qondor’s community spans TMC networks, event agencies, venues, hotels, and DMCs. Real-world case studies highlight outcomes such as standardized processes across EMEA for BCD Meetings & Events, operational clarity for Bidvest Travel, and large time savings for KRS Live (675+ hours reclaimed via proposal/reporting standardization). This mix of global and regional brands reflects usage at scale and evidences quantifiable efficiency gains. Broader ecosystem engagement includes the Help Center, Qondor Academy & webinars, and regular release notes—keeping superusers and project managers informed and confident as features evolve. The 2024 partnership with GlobalStar further extended community reach by enabling a vast network of TMCs to adopt standardized M&E workflows inside Qondor.
