Irdi Soridec, Axeleo Capital back Adagio
Irdi Soridec Gestion and Axeleo Capital have injected €2.5m into digital ad trading specialist Adagio.
The backing of the two French VC firms will allow Adagio to accelerate product development, open new offices in Germany and the UK, and recruit staff.
This first round of funding also saw the startup rebrand from Onfocus to Adagio.
Axeleo recently backed document tracking software developer Tilkee last month.

The business employs 12 people.
