Pactos Secures €2.7M To bring Agentic AI For Compliant Management Of External Staff

The funding will be used to further develop Pactos’ agentic AI platform and expand its team.

Pactos has raised €2.7 million in a pre-seed round led by High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), with participation from industry and startup leaders. The Munich-based startup’s AI platform brings structure, transparency, and legal certainty to the management of external workforces modernizing a billion-euro market still reliant on analogue processes.

The contingent workforce management market, valued at over €230 billion, is a major driver of Europe’s economic growth. Yet, managing external workers often relies on fragmented tools like Excel and email, creating slow processes and unnecessary legal risks.

Pactos tackles these challenges with an AI-powered platform for managing external workforces. The software automates contract reviews, tracks assignments in real time, and securely stores all relevant data.

Teams across procurement, HR, legal, and finance receive detailed insights and actionable recommendations. Seamlessly integrating with existing IT systems like zvoove, Pactos already supports thousands of external workers for clients including Swissport, Knuth, and Unique Personal. The platform is fully GDPR-compliant and certified to international standards.

“Managing external workforce is a major challenge for companies: complex, time-consuming, and full of compliance risks. Pactos digitises the end-to-end process and has the potential to become the leading system in a billion-dollar market,” explains Björn Sykora, Principal at HTGF.

Alongside HTGF Pactos has secured support from seasoned industry leaders: Dr. Sebastian Dettmers, CEO of StepStone; Jens Bender founder of the HR Angels Club; and Alexander Schwörer owner of the PERI Group, contributing both capital and strategic guidance. Additional backing comes from digital tech and startup investors, including Robin Haak, Managing Partner at Robin Capital, and Franzi Majer, Founding Partner of Superangels, providing further momentum for the Munich-based startup.

„We are excited to support Pactos on its journey. Their AI-powered operating system brings transparency, control, and efficiency to an often-neglected area and has the potential to shape a new category in the B2B SaaS sector.”

Pactos is using the fresh pre-seed funding to enhance its AI capabilities, expand its development team in the DACH region, and accelerate B2B growth, positioning the Munich-based startup to scale its platform and support more companies in managing their external workforce efficiently and compliantly.

Antonio Zill, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Pactos, explains: “We aim to build a real European powerhouse for external workforce management, enabling companies to respond quickly and efficiently to fluctuating demand. This funding allows us to refine our software end to end and better deliver on our promise: to make the use of external resources as simple and efficient as possible.”
