Stockholm-based Impactpool raises €3.6 million to accelerate AI job-matching in the impact sector

Impactpool, a global leading AI-enabled career platform, announced it has raised €3.6 million in Series A funding, led by Mediahuis and Fort Knox. With its commitment to diversity and advanced AI matching capabilities, Impactpool will use the new funding to enhance its technology and further its goal of placing one billion professionals with organizations dedicated to meaningful change.

Since its inception in 2015, Impactpool has managed to register nearly one million candidates from 195 countries and support over 2,500 organizations worldwide. The funding allows Impactpool to further emphasize diversity and inclusion, providing a sector-specific platform where Impact employers can strategically manage their recruitment processes.

“We are delighted to have the support of Mediahuis and the continuous support from Fort Knox and existing investors. Impactpool serves as a bridge between professionals seeking meaningful work and organizations striving to make a difference in the world,” said Magnus Bucht, CEO and Co-founder of Impactpool.

The platform is designed to help organizations in the impact-driven sector connect with talent across the full job-spectrum and make it more accessible to everyone, regardless of socioeconomic background.

Impactpool has partnered with major UN organizations, including UNICEF, UNHCR, and UNESCO. It has expanded its reach to connect talent with international organizations such as OECD, the World Health Organization, and the Green Climate Fund, as well as for-profit companies committed to social impact.

“We fully support Impactpool’s mission to bring together top talent to address global challenges, aligning perfectly with Mediahuis’ values of creating impact. Impactpool offers an accessible platform for candidates to connect with impact organizations seeking top talent. We greatly appreciate their ability to merge significant impact with robust performance and growth as a company. We look forward to supporting their sustainable journey ahead,” commented Patrick De Wachter, Director Corporate Development at Mediahuis.
