TL;DR: Roleo has raised a €2.9M round led by Practica Capital, with Inventure, bringing total funding to €3.46M. Roleo is a free personal AI career agent for tech professionals: it watches the market, picks the roles that fit and gets you introduced to companies hiring across Europe.
Most of us spend years building a career, but almost no time managing it. We think about it when something breaks: a bad manager, a year without growth, a layoff. The rest of the time we’re busy doing our best work, relying on recruiters and pure luck to introduce us to new opportunities.
Meanwhile, the best jobs slide by in the background. Right this minute, a company might be hiring for a role that would be the ideal next step for you. You never find out about it.
If I were your personal career agent, I’d first get to properly know you: your experience, skills, ambitions and goals. We’d catch up every once in a while to discuss what’s new, what’s changed. I would proactively talk with companies that interest you, representing you in the best light, and bring back what I’ve learned so you always know where you stand, even when you’re happily employed. If something truly interesting came up, you’d immediately know.
That’s why we’re building Roleo, a personal career agent that pays attention every day, for free.
In practice, it works like this. You tell Roleo what you want next: the role, the salary, the team, the city you’d like to live in. Every week it goes through hundreds of thousands of open tech roles and surfaces the ones worth your attention. When a company hiring through Roleo wants to meet you, we introduce you to the hiring manager directly. You stay anonymous until you say yes, and your current employer never knows.
Vahur, our CTO, and I started Roleo because we’d both seen the other side of the hiring market. I co-founded Veriff and spent years trying to find and hire great people. Vahur was an early engineer at Wise and later co-founded Membo. Hiring was always the hardest part, and the reason was never a lack of talent. It was finding the right person at the right time.
Companies use Roleo for this very reason: to find people who don’t just look right on paper, but match across their background and expectations. These days, it often means AI-native talent with a proven track record. Your personal career agent knows more about you than any job board, and can introduce you to the right team, sparking a conversation that can change your career.
We’ve been matching people with relevant opportunities since the start of 2026. In that time Roleo’s agent has connected its users with 30,000 career opportunities they chose to explore further. People from Google, Amazon, Stripe and Spotify use it, most of them not looking for a job but quietly curious. Roleo is free for professionals; companies pay when they hire.
Today we’re announcing a €2.9 million round led by Practica Capital, with Inventure. We’re using it to bring Roleo’s personal career agent to tech talent across Europe.
“We saw potential in the Roleo founders, their proven operational experience and grounded, yet very high ambition. They came with a clear short-term plan and a long-term vision that’s easy to relate to.”

Alongside Practica and Inventure, we’re backed by angel investors who know hiring first-hand: Markus Villig (Founder of Bolt), Kristina Lilleõis (Chief People Officer at Hedosophia), Sergei Anikin (CTO of Pipedrive) and Henrik Bohman (First Product Manager at Wise).
Thank you for believing in us early.
“I’ve watched Janer build Veriff and I know what Vahur did at Wise. Both know first-hand how hard it is to find and hire great people across Europe.”

What’s next: Roleo is now available to tech talent across Europe, and the agent gets better at what matters the most, understanding what each person actually wants from their career and supporting them beyond job search and introductions. AI has made today’s work easier. Your career agent is there for everything that comes next.
