The round was led by Amsterdam-based <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/nosuchventures.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No Such Ventures<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with participation from APX (Axel Springer &amp; Porsche), Golden Egg Check, and Future of Learning Fund.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded by Sunkanmi Ola, Seun Owolabi, and Abel Agoi in 2020, the startup has built a platform that specialized tech talent communities (developer groups, talent incubators, training schools etc.) use to solve their last-mile problems &#8211; like connecting their members to job opportunities, financial services and other perks\/benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Propel works with 100+ tech communities across 15 countries that serve roughly 400,000 members. Highlights include SheCodeAfrica &#8211; one of Africa\u2019s largest female-focused communities, Ingressive for Good &#8211; an open community that trains thousands of people in tech annually and Niyo Network &#8211; an organization that runs Web2 and Web3 bootcamps for underrepresented women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking on the rationale behind this community-focused model, Sunkanmi Ola, Co-founder and CEO of Propel shared: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCommunities are the building blocks of any ecosystem &#8211; and tech communities, especially across high-growth markets like Africa and within underrepresented groups, have emerged in their thousands to cover the massive gaps in education, skill development, and inclusion. \u201cHowever, they are constantly on the lookout for how to solve last-mile problems faced by their members and become more financially sustainable while still pushing to achieve their impact goals. That\u2019s a tall order. By giving communities access to a simplified platform that solves this for them, we can tangibly impact the growth of millions of people on a scale that has not been seen before.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In exchange for providing last-mile infrastructure, Propel plugs deeply into the pools of tech talent within these communities. This pipeline is offered to global companies in what it calls a \u2018Community as a Service\u2019 model. Propel has worked with companies like Porsche, Mercedes, Orange Telecom, Farfetch, Stepstone, and a roster of startups and scaleups &#8211; mostly across Europe, for a variety of purposes &#8211; like hiring talent, co-creating community hackathons, and designing DEI initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To date, the company has raised over \u20ac3 million, and was one of the winners of the Google Black Founders Fund in Europe last summer. The new funds would be deployed into scaling its community platform, launching new client offerings, and deepening its ecosystem of communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking about the raise, Sophie Heijenberg, investor at No Such Ventures said <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPropel&#8217;s unique, community-focused approach to driving the open talent economy sets them apart and is a solid addition to the Future of Work category. We\u2019re bullish about their roadmap, and super-excited to partner with them on this growth journey.<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Thomas Mensink, Golden Egg Check Capital adds: <em>I met Sunkanmi Ola for the first time back in 2019 after he reached out for our support with investor introductions, and stayed in touch ever since. Propel was the first company we invested in last year, so I&#8217;m just really happy to be part of this new round again!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5242 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/goldeneggcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PHOTO-2022-04-15-15-26-41-e1689020062516.jpg\" alt=\"Seun Owolabi Sunkanmi Ola Thomas Mensink\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goldeneggcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PHOTO-2022-04-15-15-26-41-e1689020062516-200x179.jpg 200w, https:\/\/goldeneggcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PHOTO-2022-04-15-15-26-41-e1689020062516-300x269.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goldeneggcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PHOTO-2022-04-15-15-26-41-e1689020062516-400x359.jpg 400w, https:\/\/goldeneggcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PHOTO-2022-04-15-15-26-41-e1689020062516-600x538.jpg 600w, https:\/\/goldeneggcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PHOTO-2022-04-15-15-26-41-e1689020062516-768x689.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goldeneggcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PHOTO-2022-04-15-15-26-41-e1689020062516-800x717.jpg 800w, https:\/\/goldeneggcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PHOTO-2022-04-15-15-26-41-e1689020062516-1024x918.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goldeneggcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PHOTO-2022-04-15-15-26-41-e1689020062516-1200x1076.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/goldeneggcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PHOTO-2022-04-15-15-26-41-e1689020062516.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Propel, an HR-tech startup developing a managed services platform for communities and talent, has secured a \u20ac2.5 million funding round.
