Find your hrtech investor with the full list of UK venture capital investors.
HRtech is probably one of the sectors the most affected by remote work.
In the UK, we are seeing venture capital pouring into 3 sub-categories + a bonus category that you wouldn’t immediately think of.
Tools to help you manage business as usual: How to run a meeting? How to make sure timings are respected ?
Tools to help you manage new problems: how to recruit without ever seeing the candidate in person? How to maintain company culture? How to train juniors?
Training : AR/VR, content marketplaces, digital workshops
And the bonus HRtech category that is taking off is mental health. Working alone everyday is taking its toll on a lot of employees.
From talent platforms to workforce automation, the UK’s HRtech scene is evolving fast. Check out the top companies on our HRtech startup watchlist and join the conversation at HRtech events.

HR is everywhere and HRTech is changing the way we work. Before we move on, let’s define it a bit more:
HRTech, in the simplest terms, is like giving a high-tech upgrade to everything that makes a workplace tick. It’s about swapping out the old manual ways of handling people-stuff at work with smart, streamlined software and systems.
Imagine having a super-efficient digital assistant that can help find the right people to hire, keep track of pay and holidays, make sure everyone's growing in their roles, and even ensure people are happy and feeling good about work. That's HRTech for you.
It's not just about making things easier or faster (though it definitely does that); it's also about using data and insights to make better decisions. Like, figuring out if a team's vibe is off before it becomes a problem, or knowing exactly what skills your company will need in the future and starting to build them now.
HRtech startups are the behind-the-scenes heros in creating places where people actually want to work, helping businesses run smoother and everyone in them feel more fulfilled.
Hibob, or more casually known as Bob, is a shining star in the UK's HRTech scene.
Launched in 2015, Bob has quickly become a go-to platform for modern, dynamic companies that want to get the most out of their teams.
It's an all-in-one HR platform designed not just to manage the nitty-gritty HR tasks but also to foster culture and engagement within the workplace.
Bob's toolkit includes the usual suspects like onboarding, payroll, and benefits management, but it shines with its focus on creating a better work environment.
Features like customisable surveys to gauge employee sentiment, shoutouts for celebrating wins and milestones, and a directory that helps everyone feel connected, are what make it stand out.
HRtech funding involves angel investors, typically professionals with backgrounds in human resources, investing personal capital early on. HRtech venture capitalists (VCs) fund startups with validated business models set to scale significantly.
