Elaia, Nauta lead €5m series-A for Geoblink
VC firms Elaia Partners and Nauta Capital have led a €5m series-A funding round for Spanish location intelligence Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company Geoblink.

The government of Madrid and Neotec CDTI, a public organisation for technology development in Spain, were among the investors.
The company will use the fresh capital to consolidate its presence in the Spanish market and bolster its international expansion, especially in France and the UK.
