The proven business model, solution edge, and our ability to assist them in this moment of inflection make Gupy an excellent addition to our portfolio. Finally, the company is led by a visionary and vibrant team with proven execution and adaptability.”
According to Mariana Dias, CEO and founder of Gupy: “This is a strategic investment which will allow us to expand our solutions at the very moment HR platforms need it most. Oria is the ideal investor to help us chart our path in the coming years. It is a very robust fund, with unparalleled experience in the technology market; the team has been working together for more than 25 years in the sector, having experienced many economic and technological cycles in Brazil and globally. We are thrilled to have them as partners in this new chapter.”
With the amount raised, the company will increase investments in technology in order to further help HR with the digitization of hiring. “We have the great mission of making talent management in Brazil agile, fair and charming and this investment will help us to offer more tools to a sector that, for years, has demanded innovation”, concludes Mariana.
