Jet HR: الشركة الإيطالية الناشئة التي تزيل بيروقراطية الموارد البشرية

Fighting Bureaucracy: The Jet HR Mission

Italy is notorious for its complex labor laws and HR bureaucracy. For small and medium businesses, managing payroll, contracts, and compliance can consume dozens of hours monthly - time that should be spent growing the business.

Jet HR, founded in Milan by Marco Ogliengo and Francesco Scalambrino, set out to change this. Their manifesto is simple: "We deeply hate bureaucracy. Jet HR was born to lift the burden of bureaucracy from you, at least for personnel management."

The Italian HR Problem

Running a business in Italy means navigating:

• Complex labor contracts: CCNL (national collective agreements) with hundreds of specific rules
• Payroll complexity: TFR, INPS contributions, regional taxes, and constantly changing regulations
• Compliance burden: Safety training, medical visits, and documentation requirements
• Administrative overhead: Leave management, expense reports, and attendance tracking

For a 20-person company, this can mean 40+ hours monthly just on HR administration. Our HR automation guide breaks down where that time actually goes, function by function.

The Funding Journey

Jet HR has raised EUR41.7 million across three rounds, each attracting a different class of investor as the product matured:

• June 2023: EUR4.7 million pre-seed, led by Exor Ventures and Italian Founders Fund - reported at the time as Italy's largest pre-seed round
• September 2024: EUR12 million Seed round led by Picus Capital, bringing total funding to EUR16.7M
• June 2025: EUR25 million led by US venture firm Base10 Partners (its first Italian investment), reaching EUR41.7M total

By April 2026 the company had grown to 300 employees and launched Jet HR Enterprises, a dedicated arm for mid-market and large companies with multi-entity payroll needs.
