Founders of Hppyppl invest in software start-up Aivy

Only recently, Aivy was able to secure a financing round. At that time, early-stage investor Matthias Helfrich, among others, invested.

The HR company Hppyppl is investing in the start-up Aivy, which specializes in the pre-selection of job candidates. It was initially not possible to find out how high the invested sum is. The Hppyppl founders see themselves not only as investors, but also want to score points through their network.

Instead of focusing on resumes and grades, the company wants to improve the pre-selection of job candidates by playfully assessing each applicant's skills. Employers can use Aivy to develop requirement profiles for job openings, from which the app can draw inspiration for suitable assessment games. In the future, Aivy also plans to allow users to search its talent pool for applicants who meet the qualification and suitability standards for open positions.

Aivy had just recently successfully completed a seed funding round. Participating in the round, according to Business Insider, were Andreas Schmitz, former Chief Human Resources Officer of Roche Germany, and early-stage investor Matthias Helfrich, who funds companies like DriveDressy and Sirplus. The Business Angel Club Berlin Brandenburg and some existing investors also provided funds to the Berliners again. This brought the total investment in the start-up to around 1.5 million euros.
