Jet HR offers an all-in-one, cloud-based HR platform for small and medium-sized enterprises, with features including automated payroll, digital contracts, leave tracking, mobile-enabled expense management, and access to dedicated HR consultants. Founded in 2023 by Marco Ogliengo and Francesco Scalambrino and headquartered in Milan, the company aims to become the go-to operating system for Italian SMEs managing employees and labor relationships. Jet HR currently serves over 700 Italian SMEs. The company raised €25.0M in funding and will use the proceeds to enhance its platform, develop more than ten new product modules across HR, finance, and compliance, and double its team within 18 months. The product roadmap and hiring plans are explicitly funded by this round. Jet HR provides a tech platform paired with authorised Payroll Advisors to automate payroll, hiring and related administrative tasks in Italy. The product eliminates paper from expense reports and contracts, helps build valid contracts, clarifies payroll costs, and automatically applies tax breaks to deliver monetary savings. After one year of operation the company serves over 300 client companies, including SMEs, startups, multinationals and publicly traded firms such as HelloFresh and Octopus Energy. Jet HR has raised a €12M Seed round (bringing total funding to €16.7M) to grow the team to 70 employees, mostly into R&D. Upcoming features include contractor management to pay contractors alongside employees and provide a complete picture of total workforce costs. Investors and backers include Picus Capital, Exor Ventures, Italian Founders Fund, 2100 Ventures, prominent angels and Italian industrial families; Picus highlighted the potential for AI-powered automation in Italy's €4 billion payroll market. Jet HR is a Milan-headquartered startup building a unified HR and administrative platform to eliminate bureaucratic complexity for businesses. Its product automates payroll processing, issuing, and archiving while providing employee records, labour cost simulations, and contract management. The platform also handles peripheral admin tasks such as rental and delivery of employee PCs, booking medical examinations, enrolling staff in safety courses, and offering access to partner labour consultants. Employees and contractors use a mobile app to request vacation, submit expenses, and access other HR services, improving transparency and efficiency. Founders Marco Ogliengo and Francesco Scalambrino bring entrepreneurial and product experience from prior tech and unicorn companies. Financially, the company closed a €4.7 million pre-seed round, supported by many of Italy’s leading entrepreneurs and innovators.
