Papershift launches further expansion with Series A financing
eCAPITAL NEWSAs part of the Series A, a 7-digit amount will flow into the company founded in 2015 by Michael Emaschow and Florian Suchan.
Papershift has grown from its own cash flow since the seed round in 2015 and now employs an international team of over 50 people. The strong organic growth of recent years shall now be accelerated with the newly raised capital. The decision to bring a very experienced and successful venture capital investor into the circle of shareholders is based on the extraordinary growth potential the company has identified in the market.
We are very excited to welcome the new partner eCAPITAL to the team. We believe that together we have the chance to not only continue the success story, but to take the company into a strong further scaling.
Michael Emaschow, CEO, Papershift GmbH
The numerous satisfied customers from almost all industries and company sizes demonstrate the value Papershift is already delivering in the market. The intuitive usability enables entire teams to be integrated into the shift planning, making Papershift a central platform in its customers’ processes.
We were impressed to see how successfully Papershift has already been able to establish itself in the market in recent years, even without venture capital. Given the additional financial power and our network, Papershift will succeed in becoming a major player in the international human resource management market in the coming years.
