Smycles develops a three-stage software platform that first captures employee skills and project histories (profiling), then extracts insights to map potential and skill gaps (talent mining), and finally recommends high-performing team combinations (team mining). The product is being extended with Agentic AI—digital agents that participate alongside humans in hybrid teams and whose suitability and transparency the company also evaluates. A core differentiator is the system’s ability to quantify soft skills such as communication, empathy and trust, treating them as measurable inputs to team formation. Co-founders Bernhard and Martin Zünkeler combine large-enterprise consulting experience with serial entrepreneurship. Near-term plans include integrating and benchmarking AI agents, refining soft-skill analytics, and accelerating go-to-market efforts. Financially, the company has raised €2 million in seed funding to fuel product development and early customer acquisition. No other operating metrics have been disclosed.
