Berlin-based HR start-up HiPeople raises $3m
The HR tech company was founded in 2019 and helps recruiters to hire remotely using automated reference checks.
HiPeople has raised $3m in seed funding to develop its recruitment tool. The investment comes from Atomico co-founder Mattias Ljungman’s new venture firm, Moonfire, as well as Capnamic Ventures and Cherry Ventures.
The Berlin-based start-up was founded in 2019 by Jakob Gillmann and Sebastian Schüller. Gillmann had previously worked for tech companies Peakon, Optimizely and Adjust. Schüller previously worked at Google in Dublin as a growth strategist and ran the Berlin office of an early-stage VC firm.
