We have advised Bruce, a start-up specialised in digital temporary work, on its €5m fundraising package from Sofiouest and BPI France.

Founded in March 2016 by an entrepreneur Adrien Moreira and an engineer Henrik Perrochon, Bruce is a platform that allows employers and job seekers to "match" according to hundreds of criteria and thousands of parameters such as skills, experiences, social skills, company culture, location, and more, weighted by a proprietary algorithm. Available on the web and on a mobile application, Bruce is transforming the traditional temporary work market with its 100% digital technology, from video interviews with employers to electronic signatures of contracts.

This fundraising of €5m, which follows a first seed raise of €400k in 2016 from Business Angels, will enable Bruce to support recruitment from 15 employees to 50 at the end of 2019, improve the technology, and deploying the concept in France to become the 100% digital leader of temporary work.

We chose Sofiouest because they immediately understood our vision of market developments and the role that Bruce will play, thanks to our innovative model. Beyond our common ambition, we share very strong human values that make Sofiouest the ideal partner to support our growth.
