Hipeople successfully completes seed financing

The start-up Hipeople has raised three million dollars in a seed financing round.

The digital talent finder Hipeople has completed a seed financing round and received three million US dollars. The round was led by Mattias Ljungman's fund Moonfire. Capnamic Ventures and Cherry Ventures were also involved.

Hipeople had already closed a first pre-seed round in 2019 with over one million US dollars. The Berlin-based start-up has set itself the goal of simplifying the search for the right employee for companies. Companies forward the references they expect from candidates to Hipeople. The start-up then requests all relevant information from the candidates themselves and prepares it for the company.

According to the company, this saves customers 50 percent of the time they would otherwise spend looking for the right employee. Investor Ljungman is convinced by the idea, partly because the pandemic has made it more difficult to hire the right people for a company.
