- Nigerian startup SeamlessHR is one of Africa’s leading payroll and HR technology companies.
- The startup plans to expand across Africa and improve the continent’s workforce productivity.
- This funding round received support from the Gates Foundation and Helios Digital Ventures.
Nigeria’s HR tech scene has witnessed a significant shift with SeamlessHR raising $9 million in its latest funding round. This fund not only brings its total to $20 million but also revolutionizes human resource management across Africa.
The startup was founded in 2018 with an ambitious vision to support businesses with innovative technology and improve workforce productivity. It provides businesses with a comprehensive platform to simplify recruitment and retirement processes.
Over 2,000 companies are already using the platform, and the company’s reach now extends to nearly 300,000 employees across 20 African countries. These achievements make it one of the most trusted solutions for medium and large enterprises.
The startup has expanded beyond streamlining processes. With this latest investment round, it expands its services and focuses on AI-powered management tools and embedded finance solutions.
Many working Africans are now fighting inflation, exchange rates, and lack of financial access. SeamlessHR wants to change that reality by giving people the financial support they need through their platform.
Their idea is to make business operations smoother and help employees access better financial security. The Gates Foundation and Helios Digital Ventures made this possible by supporting this fund.
The startup’s suite of financial tools allows employees to use their employment as collateral for loans providing them with access to housing, education, and transportation.
