Skello

Skello is a Paris-based SaaS company providing workforce-management software for restaurants, retail and other frontline employers—covering scheduling, time and absence tracking, payroll prep and HR administration on a collaborative, subscription platform. Founded in 2016, it serves multi-site operators across Europe and has expanded product work into AI tools that help managers plan shifts and staffing. In July 2026 Skello secured a €200 million growth investment led by Bridgepoint (Bridgepoint Development Capital V), which became lead minority shareholder, with founders and management increasing their stake and existing backers Partech and XAnge reinvesting; proceeds support European expansion, AI development, hiring and targeted acquisitions. The raise follows earlier growth capital including a €40 million Series B in 2021. Sources: Bridgepoint / Partech / XAnge press, Jul 2026; EU-Startups, Jul 2026.
