Hppyppl founders invest in the software start-up Aivy

Aivy recently secured a financing round. Early-stage investor Matthias Helfrich was one of the investors at the time.

The HR company Hppyppl is investing in the start-up Aivy, which specializes in the pre-selection of job candidates. The amount invested was not initially disclosed. The Hppyppl founders see themselves not only as investors, but also want to score points with their network.

Instead of focusing on CVs and grades, the company wants to improve the pre-selection of job candidates by playfully assessing the skills of each applicant. Employers can use Aivy to develop requirement profiles for job vacancies, which the app uses as inspiration for suitable assessment games. In the future, Aivy also wants to give users the opportunity to search their talent pool for applicants who meet the qualification and suitability standards for vacancies.

Aivy recently successfully completed a seed financing round. According to Business Insider, Andreas Schmitz, former Chief Human Resources Officer at Roche Germany, and early-stage investor Matthias Helfrich, who finances companies such as DriveDressy and Sirplus, participated in the round. The Business Angel Club Berlin Brandenburg and several existing investors also provided the Berliners with further funds. This brought the total amount invested in the start-up to around 1.5 million euros.
