Skello announced that it has secured a €200 million investment led by Bridgepoint. The funding will support the company’s European expansion and continued investment in artificial intelligence.
Skello is an AI-powered HR management platform built for frontline teams. The company helps businesses manage scheduling, administrative workflows, compliance, and operational performance.
Bridgepoint will become Skello’s lead minority shareholder through Bridgepoint Development Capital V. Skello’s founders, management team, and historical investors Partech and XAnge are reinvesting as part of the transaction.
The transaction also allows Skello’s management team to increase its stake in the company. Skello said this reflects the team’s commitment to the company’s next phase of development.
The investment will support three main priorities for Skello. These include strengthening its leadership position in France, expanding further across Europe, and broadening the functional scope of its platform.
Skello also plans to invest further in AI and pursue targeted external growth opportunities. The company plans to hire 100 people in 2026 across tech, product, and sales roles in Paris, Lille, and Barcelona.
Founded in 2016 by Quitterie Mathelin-Moreaux and Emmanuelle Fauchier-Magnan, Skello currently serves 30,000 businesses. The company has 700,000 daily users across France, Spain, the Benelux, and Italy.
Skello operates from hubs in Paris, Lille, and Barcelona and employs more than 400 people. The company exceeded €50 million in ARR in 2026 after reaching profitability in 2025.
In 2025, Skello launched Skello Assistant, an AI agent dedicated to frontline teams. The product is designed to transform large volumes of data into tailored HR insights and automate follow-up actions.
Skello is also developing a new automated scheduling experience built around operational constraints such as projected revenue, historical data, and on-the-ground needs. Its AI capabilities are also designed to help frontline managers handle administrative work and detect payroll, clock-in, and scheduling anomalies.
Bridgepoint said Skello fits its focus on fast-growing European businesses with strong market positions. The firm has previously supported European technology companies including Brevo, LumApps, Kyriba, and Bee2Link.
KEY QUOTES:
“Frontline workers represent nearly 55% of Europe’s workforce and are too often left behind by digital transformation. We created Skello to give them tools built for their daily operational realities. Today, two million people have a Skello account, and this transaction gives us the means to significantly accelerate our European development, our AI investments, and our market consolidation strategy. Bridgepoint Development Capital brings exactly the expertise we needed for this new phase of growth.”
Quitterie Mathelin-Moreaux and Emmanuelle Fauchier-Magnan, Co-Founders of Skello
“Skello brings together everything we look for: clear market leadership, strong growth momentum, a differentiated product, and a European market that remains largely underserved and fragmented. Frontline teams represent a major share of Europe’s working population, with growing needs for digitalisation and operational management. We are convinced that Skello has the assets needed to build a European reference leader in this category.”
Jean-Baptiste Salvin, Partner at Bridgepoint
“What Skello has built over the past few years, both technologically and across Europe, is remarkable. We are delighted to continue this journey alongside Bridgepoint Development Capital and the management team.”
Cyril Bertrand, Partner at XAnge
