Simbel, a Paris, France-based SaaS-enabled marketplace for learning and development (L&D), announced that it secured €4 million in Seed funding to accelerate its product development.
The round was led by Speedinvest and Brighteye, with participation from angels including Thibaud Elziere (eFounders co-founder), Virgile Ringeart (Figures co-founder), Nicolas Steegmann (Stupeflix co-founder), and Alexandre Eruimy (Prestashop co-founder).
“HR teams are supposed to inspire teams, create learning rituals, organize internal and external learning sessions, and oversee learning and development. But the reality is that SMBs typically only have one or two people to manage all these activities and still run their L&D on Excel sheets,” says Simbel CEO and co-founder Loïc Jourdain.
Simbel has developed its offering in partnership with its first clients, including Blablacar and Roland Berger, while in beta. Now, it has announced the launch of partnerships with the best HR and talent development software platforms for SMBs.
