Kaleidos Open Source S.L.

Kaleidos Open Source S.L. is a European technology company founded in 2011, headquartered in Madrid, Spain. It was established with the mission to develop socially impactful software grounded in open source principles. Initially operating as a digital consultancy, the company transitioned around 2020 to focus exclusively on building open source software products. This strategic pivot allowed Kaleidos to align its operations with its core values of collaboration, transparency, and inclusivity within the global open source design community.

The company's flagship product, Penpot, is an open-source design and prototyping platform created to bridge the gap between designers and developers. In addition to Penpot, Kaleidos develops Taiga, an open-source agile project management tool, supporting cross-disciplinary workflows for product teams. The company operates a freemium SaaS business model that offers a free core product and provides premium features and enterprise services. Kaleidos also offers a self-hosted option, reflecting its commitment to openness and flexibility. Supported by Series A investors including Decibel Partners and Athos Capital, Kaleidos serves a diverse market spanning UI/UX designers, front-end developers, product teams, and organizations from small and medium businesses to enterprise clients globally.
