What a nice morning to share the news about Orbit Capital's investment in Sloneek! 🌞
What got us excited:
🌍 A massive market opportunity - Thousands of European SMEs still manage people operations through spreadsheets, emails, and manual processes, with the majority lacking a dedicated HR system altogether.
💎 Deep product adoption - a platform embedded across the entire organization, often the first company-wide system, not just HR, creating real value, strong customer adoption, and long-term stickiness.
✨ An exceptional team - combining speed and ambition with outstanding cost and capital discipline and execution.
After building a strong business foundation in Czechia and Slovakia, Sloneek is now ready for its next chapter of European expansion. We're also excited that #venturedebt is the right instrument for this stage: the business has demonstrated a path to sustainable profitability, allowing the team to accelerate growth without meaningful dilution to founders and existing investors.
As AI transforms the workplace, we believe employee development, engagement, and retention will only become more important. Sloneek is building the modern platform to help companies manage and develop their people — and we're excited to support the team on that journey.
Filip, Milan, Marek — congrats on this milestone! And we're looking forward to what's next... 🚀
And from a recent personal experience seeing how fast kids grow...who knows, maybe the little Sloneek will become a big Slon soon... :)
