Our mission is supported by world-class investors.

In May 2023, we closed our 4M EUR pre-seed round, fueling our mission to overcome the talent supply shortage in the trades.

With the support of world-class investors, La Famiglia, Owl Ventures, APX and strategic Angel investors from the education and climate tech sectors, we're excited to bring on the most talented, mission-driven founding team.
