Orbio, a Spanish company specializing in applying artificial intelligence to transform human resources management, has announced the closing of a $7.6 million funding round. The transaction was led for the second time by Visionaries Club and backed by Plus Partners, Enzo Ventures, and 2100 Ventures — investors with deep experience in the tech ecosystem and international relevance aligned with the ambition of the project.
With this funding, Orbio will accelerate the development and global expansion of its AI-native HR system — a platform that integrates artificial intelligence, autonomous and conversational agents capable of operating 24/7 and processing new data from conversations and documents to manage HR workflows. Orbio supports the entire talent cycle, from recruitment and professional development to retention and employee satisfaction. This new system represents a paradigm shift for HR departments, enabling them to move from a focus on operational tasks to becoming strategic engines of their organizations through agents that generate actions autonomously.
“At Orbio, we become the AI partner for HR, transforming teams from an operational and administrative center into a strategic engine. We create assistants that automate administrative tasks and capture new data — until now lost — to make better decisions and impact organizations,” said Sergi Bastardas, CEO and co-founder of Orbio. “HR teams take months to hire a single employee, lose their best candidates because they can’t move fast enough, and spend most of their time on tasks that don’t add value. With Orbio and AI, all of that changes completely.”
In addition to consolidating its leadership in Europe, this round marks the start of a new phase for Orbio, with a roadmap designed to scale its impact and redefine the future of HR globally. The company will accelerate its growth with the goal of generating new commercial agreements and further developing its product, strengthening its position as a reference technology partner.
At the same time, Orbio will deploy an international expansion strategy to bring its technology to new markets in Europe and Latin America. It is currently available in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Italy, and the United States. The Spanish company will also strengthen its team by hiring top AI specialists, adding strategic profiles, and forming an advisory board to provide global vision and accelerate the execution of its growth plan.
To ensure excellence in this new stage, Orbio relies on a board of business angels and advisors with recognized prestige in each of its key markets. In Spain, its board includes Phil Chambers (former COO of Workday and founder of Peakon), Borja Aranguren (founder of Cobee), Carlos Fernández Elviro (COO of Docplanner and former COO of Job&Talent), Thiago Pessoa (founding team of Wellhub), and Aleix Puig (founder of Vicio).
Orbio’s AI-native HR system delivers impact in just 4 months
Since its launch in June, the project founded by Sergi Bastardas (CEO and former founder of Colvin), Nacho Travesí (CRO and former founder of Cobee, acquired by Pluxee), and Antonio Melé (CTO and former founder/CTO of Nucoro) has quickly become a reality that is already transforming HR management in large companies.
In just four months, Orbio has managed more than 60,000 interviews for companies such as Ribera Salud, AT&T, Vicio, Honest Greens, and Verisure. Recruitment processes are now 80% faster, enabling companies to fill vacancies before their competitors; early turnover within the first 20 days has been reduced by up to 20%; and candidate satisfaction has reached 99%, boosting talent acquisition.
“These numbers not only prove that our solution works but also confirm that Orbio’s AI-native technology is set to redefine the HR industry,” added Bastardas. “We combine technology, speed, accuracy, and data-driven decision-making, allowing us to become the strategic partner capable of fundamentally transforming how companies attract, develop, and retain their people — from the first contact to the last day.”
