Amsterdam, Thursday 7th July 2022 – Happeo, the intranet platform for fast-moving companies, has raised US$26 million in a Series B funding round led by Endeit Capital, Smartfin and Evli Growth Partners. Happeo’s earlier investors Inkef, Maki.vc and Vendep Capital, among others, also joined the round.

The investment strengthens Happeo’s position as a leader in solving information chaos in the workplace and also enables the company to accelerate its expansion. Happeo will be able to develop its social intranet platform further at a time when companies need information to be more accessible and findable than ever. As a result of this funding, Happeo will be investing in its product and development teams, and on further expansion in North America, while retaining its strong position in its home market of Europe.

This latest funding enables us to realize our vision of creating a new, better world of work at scale. We have been improving our platform, and this funding means we can take our revolution in the intranet space to the next level.”

Jelle-Jan Bruinsma, Partner at Endeit Capital, says, “In this era of hybrid and remote work, Happeo’s tools are needed more than ever. Companies have a pressing need to simplify their internal communications, and we have seen that companies that do this well perform better over the long term.”
