🚀 Excited to back Leo Acciarri, Francesco Paolo Defendi, and Mattia Zarrelli - three founders combining strong engineering, platform building and software development skills - who are tackling the big workforce shift of our times: the rise of skilled blue collar workers. They are building Gyver, an enterprise workforce infrastructure company to shape the careers of 1 in 5 skilled blue collars in EU. As a first step, Gyver built an AI-powered recruitment platform, rethinking how millions of technicians and electricians find jobs by recreating trusted word-of-mouth recommendations on WhatsApp. Workers apply with one click, while employers finally gain access to talent that is otherwise out of reach. Why now? 📊 40%+ of European employers face skilled trade shortages, blocking progress in the energy transition and reindustrialization. ⚡ Gyver has already built Italy’s largest community of electricians (21,000+ strong), who now use WhatsApp to discover jobs, apply instantly, and stay engaged through conversational AI. 🏗️ Top employers in the electrical sector are already hiring through the platform (the likes of Enpal, Schneider Electric, ...) Really fast-moving, hands-on founding team solving a real-economy problem that truly matters. Thrilled to welcome you to the portfolio, team!
