Dublin-based Kota secures €5 million in seed funding. This round was led by our new partners, EQT Ventures, with participation from their early partners Northzone and Frontline Ventures, as well as some incredible new angels including Job van der Voort of Remote, Romain Huet of Open AI (formerly of Stripe), David Clarke formerly of Workday and many others.
While funding is a milestone and more validation of their hypothesis, they know it’s a means to an end. They are staying focused on building the best product for their customers while expanding their market availability and the coverage options.

Luke Mackey, Co-Founder and CEO of Kota, said: “Employee health and retirement benefits are the Achilles heel of HR and finance teams. They are managed through spreadsheets, portals and email – completely fragmented, offline and lacking interoperability. This is little surprise given, unlike other areas of HR and Finance where modern tools have revolutionised workflows, this industry is still dominated by old-school brokerages with an admin-heavy model. Kota is first to market with a platform that is automating workflows through data synchronisation and reconciliation, integrating with top-tier health, life and pension providers, and ultimately, delivering employees access to the benefits that they deserve.”

They founded Kota last year with a mission to increase access to traditional financial and insurance products for a new generation of employers and employees.
