Skello raised €200 million from Bridgepoint, its largest backer, as founders grew their own stake.
The profitable HR platform for shift workers passed €50 million in annual revenue in 2026.
It plans around 100 new hires in 2026 and is eyeing acquisitions across Europe.
Most rounds this size dilute founders further. Skello‘s just did the opposite. As part of a €200 million investment led by Bridgepoint’s Development Capital V fund, the company’s founders and management team are increasing their own stake in the business, even as Bridgepoint becomes Skello’s largest external backer to date.
It’s an unusual structure for a round of this scale, and it says something about where Skello sits: profitable, growing, and negotiating from strength rather than needing outside capital to survive. Existing investors Partech and XAnge also reinvested.
