Founded in 2016 by Partech alumni, Skello provides an AI-enabled scheduling and HR platform used by managers and frontline employees to build compliant schedules, manage shift changes, and handle timekeeping. The company launched Skello Assistant in 2025, an AI agent that analyzes scheduling and payroll data to flag overtime, resolve payroll mismatches, and propose schedule fixes. From a Paris hub with engineering in Lille and a sales office in Barcelona, Skello expanded from France into Spain, Belgium, and Italy and covers roughly 30,000 businesses and 700,000 daily users. Skello crossed €50 million in annual recurring revenue in 2026 and is already profitable.

- Vertical Compute
Participated · Seed · Mar 2026
Vertical Compute is a Belgian semiconductor startup engineering chiplets in which vertical memory stacks are integrated directly on top of compute logic during 300 mm wafer fabrication. This 3D architecture restructures on-chip data flow and addresses the longstanding “memory wall,” cutting latency and energy use compared with traditional 2D memory layouts. The company has already produced its first test chip demonstrating the concept. With a headcount of 25, Vertical Compute now plans to shift from validation to the commercial rollout of its chiplets for emerging AI platforms. Financially, the startup has secured €57 million to date, including a €20 million round in 2022 and the latest €37 million raise. No revenue figures have been disclosed, but the fresh capital provides runway for scaling manufacturing and bringing its products to market.
