The company announced a €1 million funding round backed by new and existing investors including LeanSquare, Seederfund, WapInvest and SIBA. MySkillCamp says it will use the funding to further develop its platform into a modern, centralized, participatory, scalable and unified learning environment that connects necessary third‑party and proprietary tools.

Current clients named in the article include D’Ieteren, Thalys, Sodexo, Spadel and IFAPME Charleroi, who use the platform for employee training and professional development. CEO Kevin Tillier said the product aims to decompartmentalise teams, facilitate internal collaboration and anticipate future recruitment needs.
