We’re on a mission
to bring the fun back to gifting. 

One day, our founder Fabrice Guillermin had to collect money for a friend’s birthday gift. He contacted everyone, but the collection didn’t go smoothly: he had to advance payments, send out multiple reminders, had stress choosing a gift. The idea for a platform was born, to make it easy to collect money with friends, family and colleagues.

Mid 2015, Kadonation enjoys six months of housing at start-up accel­er­a­tor The Birdhouse, where our leadership was paired up with expe­ri­enced entre­pre­neurs acting as mentors. A big step in our devel­op­ment, for which we’ll be eternally grateful.

Early 2017, Kadonation suc­cess­ful­ly completed its first major capital round and is now standing fully on its own feet as a PLC. Renowned, expe­ri­enced entre­pre­neurs not only invest finan­cial­ly, but also make their knowledge and network available to our leadership team.

Late 2018, the versatile Kadonation Gift Card is made available through the webshop, without the need to start a group gift first. A big hit, as it turns out. Our gift card becomes a hugely popular employee gift, and prompts us to start inves­ti­gat­ing the need for a full-scale gifting solution.

In 2020, we launch the first version of our corporate gifting platform, Kadonation Select. The platform imme­di­ate­ly proved an over­whelm­ing success, helping to drive our meteoric growth and bringing renewed focus.

In 2021, Kadonation has become a household name in corporate gifting. Our team grows rapidly in Belgium and abroad. In April 2021, we open our Dutch office in Alkmaar. Our continued growth leads to a nomination for Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Award. We’re officially the third fastest growing company, and the fastest growing ecommerce business in Belgium.

2022 marks the con­tin­u­a­tion of our growth story. A hand-curated selection of high-quality physical gifts can now be ordered through Kadonation Select. Our team expands to 45 incredibly talented people, but we’re always on the lookout for more. Our drive and ambition remain: to become the Benelux market leader in corporate gifting. To be continued!

Our enhanced gifting platform takes your gifting policy to the next level. With improved features for personal and impactful appre­ci­a­tion, new features for decen­tralised management, and custom branding, we offer clients even more flex­i­bil­i­ty and power. The expanded gift selection and growing network of gift partners further strengthen the freedom of choice, while the Kadonation Gift Card shines in a luxurious new design.

In 2025, we proudly achieved two major milestones: the ISO/IEC 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 cer­ti­fi­ca­tions. These inter­na­tion­al standards recognise our continuous commitment to quality, infor­ma­tion security, and ongoing improve­ment. For our customers, this means added peace of mind: their data and their trust are in safe, expert hands with Kadonation.
