Skillvue Funding News- Milan-based Skillvue Raises €5.5Mn Seed Funding

The platform helps companies understand the skills they already have within their teams and adapt to changes in the job market. While it started as a recruitment tool, it’s now becoming a full system to evaluate the skills of both job candidates and current employees.

The funding round was led by 360 Capital, with help from Italian Founders Fund and 14Peaks Capital. A new investor, Orbita Verticale, also joined in.

Lucrezia Lucotti, Partner at 360 Capital, says, “We are standing at a pivotal moment for the future of work, where skills — not titles — will define success. Skillvue is not just riding this wave; they are shaping it by combining cutting-edge AI with a deep understanding of skills-based dynamics.”

“Skillvue is setting a new benchmark for how companies recognise, value, and develop skills as the true drivers of growth and success — a vision already embraced by leading players across industries. We are thrilled to support Nicolò, Simone, and the entire Skillvue team in their ambitious journey to scale and redefine how human potential is truly valued.”

Skillvue was founded in 2021 by Nicolò Mazzocchi and Simone Patera. It created an AI-powered platform that helps companies focus on skills when hiring and managing talent.

At first, Skillvue was mainly used for recruitment. Now, it’s a full platform that helps businesses understand and assess the skills of both new candidates and current employees.

By looking at the skills behind each job role, Skillvue helps companies discover talents within their teams that might not be obvious through regular job titles.
