Emplu collects funding

The benefits and compensation platform wants to make salary packages more individual. Now it has received around half a million euros.

The start-up Emplu raises around half a million euros in its pre-seed round. In the process, Ingo Weber (founder of FAS Wirtschaftsprüfung), Andreas Schranzhofer (CTO at Scalable Capital), Jan Dzulko (co-founder and CEO of Everphone), Marc Müller, Sophie Glusac, Thomas Perlitz and Carsten Thies are investing in the company.

Anika Brunner founded the start-up in 2021. The founder wants to enable companies to pay their employees individual salary packages. The idea is for employees to be able to select and manage their "benefits" themselves via a platform. Brunner thinks that salary packages have not been flexible enough so far. "New Work needs New Pay, I am convinced of that. We live in a working world in which flexibility and freedom play a central role," says the founder. The start-up has already been receiving strategic and operational support from VC Allygatr, which specializes in HR, since 2021.

The company plans to use the raised capital to expand its key account management and customer service areas. In addition, further functions are to be added to the platform so that the app can be launched soon.
