Principia backs Rysto with $1m
Italian venture capital firm Principia has injected $1m into Rysto, an online portal for jobseekers in hospitality and catering.
The fresh capital will support the international expansion of the company and an increased focus on product development.
As part of the transaction, the company has signed a partnership agreement with e-learning platform Docebo, which will allow jobseekers to improve sectoral skills and industry training.
Recruitment and training platforms are currently receiving particular attention from southern European VC players. Just a week ago, Spanish investor Kibo Ventures led a €2.5m round for Jobandtalent to fund the international expansion of the company.
