The financing round was led by Partech and saw the participation of previous investors XAnge and Aglaé Ventures. 


French start up Skello has raised €40m in a Series B funding round for its workforce management tool that helps managers and businesses of all types and sizes to aim for better team organization, automate and optimize HR processes such as complex schedules and shifts, payroll or remote work.


The pandemic-accelerated digitalization in the HR sector has contributed to Skello’s rapid growth, as companies seek to suppress time-consuming tasks, so managers can fully focus on their teams and business growth.
During the last 1.5 years, Skello has grown its customer base exponentially in France, welcoming clients from all sectors. The startup is currently looking for Country Managers as it is ready to open new offices in Spain and Germany. In five years, its workforce has increased to the current strength of 150. Skello expects to double its headcount by the end of 2022.
“We are thrilled to start our European journey with Partech and the continued support of our previous investors. Our role as a trusted HR partner is to help companies navigate through difficult and time-consuming HR processes, especially in times like these.” says Quitterie Mathelin-Moreaux, co-founder and CEO of the company. “We are achieving this by relentlessly working on our platform to provide the most personalized and tailored features to our clients, so they can focus on everything else that actually adds value to their business.”
“In just a few years, Skello has developed the best solution for the creation of employee schedules, praised by clients for its easy-to-use interface, and sharp automation ability. With this new funding raise, we are delighted to support the Skello team in the deployment of their solution on a European level, into a market whose players currently lack this type of equipment, and for whom the recent Covid crisis has been a real wake up call as to the benefits of digitizing and automating HR processes”, adds Omri Benayoun, General Partner at Partech.
