Ola Creators, the platform specialized in recruiting creative talent for social media (Content Creators, Social Media Managers and Community Managers), has closed a €100,000 funding round. Participants include Angels, the investment company of Juan Roig, part of Marina de Empresas, and Hortensia Roig, President of EDEM.
The transaction will allow the company to accelerate the growth of its platform and strengthen its positioning as the benchmark system for companies seeking to add creative social media profiles to their teams.
At just 22 years old, Claudia Silvestre (CEO) and Irene Canals (COO) founded Ola Creators after meeting while studying Engineering and Business Management (IGE) at EDEM.
In a context where social media is playing an increasingly prominent role, companies compete to attract creative talent. However, traditional job platforms do not adequately assess this type of profile, since a creator’s real value is demonstrated through their content and creative skills, not through a résumé. Ola Creators solves this problem by integrating portfolios and job offers into a single platform, allowing companies to evaluate candidates based on their videos and thus reducing selection time.
In addition to its portfolio-based approach, the company has developed a recommendation algorithm that uses AI to evaluate candidates’ videos and rank them according to their creative skills and suitability for each role. Beyond technology, they have built a community of more than 2,000 creators already registered on the platform.
“Irene and Claudia reflect how talent and entrepreneurship are fostered at Marina de Empresas: they trained at EDEM, founded their company at Lanzadera, and now Angels supports them as shareholders to continue growing,” says Pepe Peris, Managing Director of Angels.
Claudia Silvestre and Irene Canals, founders of Ola Creators, add:
“Brands need creators capable of producing authentic content aligned with their identity. However, current recruitment platforms do not allow this talent to be properly assessed or validated, despite the fact that many creators are ready to deliver real value.”
