Impactpool raises $4M to enhance AI mission-driven career platform
Impactpool, an AI-powered career platform, has secured $4 million in Series A funding, led by Mediahuis and Fort Knox. This investment will bolster Impactpool's advanced AI matching technology and further its mission to connect one billion professionals with organisations focused on impactful change.
With a strong commitment to diversity, Impactpool has registered nearly one million candidates from 195 countries and supports over 2,500 organisations globally. This new funding will enhance its technology, enabling even more effective connections between professionals and organisations dedicated to meaningful change.
“We are delighted to have the support of Mediahuis and the continuous support from Fort Knox and existing investors. Impactpool serves as a bridge between professionals seeking meaningful work and organisations striving to make a difference in the world," says Magnus Bucht, CEO and Co-Founder of Impactpool.
Since its inception in 2015, Impactpool has partnered with major UN organisations, including UNICEF, UNHCR, and UNESCO. It has expanded its reach to connect talent with international organisations such as OECD, the World Health Organisation, and the Green Climate Fund, as well as for-profit companies committed to social impact.
“We fully support Impactpool's mission to bring together top talent to address global challenges, aligning perfectly with Mediahuis' values of creating impact. Impactpool offers an accessible platform for candidates to connect with impact organisations seeking top talent. We greatly appreciate their ability to merge significant impact with robust performance and growth as a company. We look forward to supporting their sustainable journey ahead,” says Patrick De Wachter, Director Corporate Development at Mediahuis.
The funding allows Impactpool to further emphasise diversity and inclusion, providing a sector-specific platform where Impact employers can strategically manage their recruitment processes.
“Since our investment in Impactpool, the team has delivered beyond our expectations. We are impressed with the work that has been performed, both from a product- and business-development perspective. Together with Mediahuis, we now have another long-term investor who is fully committed to supporting Impactpool's journey of helping candidates and organisations create more positive impact,” says Markus Olsson, CEO at Fort Knox.
Impactpool champions diversity and inclusion by promoting opportunities for underrepresented groups and fostering inclusive work environments in the impact sector. The platform is designed to help organisations in the impact-driven sector connect with talent across the full job-spectrum and make it more accessible to everyone, regardless of socioeconomic background.
