Veriff co-founder’s Roleo raises €2.9M to expand AI career agent across Europe

Roleo, an AI-powered career agent for technology professionals, has secured €2.9 million in funding to expand its operations across Europe. The venture was led by Baltic venture capital firm Practica Capital, with Inventure and other investors participating. Co-founded by Janer Gorohhov, a former Veriff executive, and Vahur Hansen, a Wise engineer and Membo co-founder, Roleo aims to simplify career management for tech professionals.

Instead of requiring users to proactively search for jobs, the platform continuously monitors the job market on behalf of its users. Leveraging AI technology, Roleo learns about each user's professional experience, career objectives, salary preferences, and job preferences, including flexibility and development opportunities. Based on this information, the platform identifies suitable positions across the European technology sector and connects users directly with hiring managers, eliminating the need for formal job applications.

Roleo empowers users by maintaining control over their visibility and decisions regarding potential opportunities. The startup's AI agent has already facilitated connections with over 30,000 career opportunities since its inception in 2026, with the platform evaluating hundreds of thousands of potential openings weekly. Notable users include professionals from companies such as Google, Amazon, Stripe, and Spotify.

For employers, Roleo offers access to qualified candidates who may not be actively job searching but are open to relevant opportunities. The company has attracted backing from notable investors, including Bolt founder Markus Villig and others. The upcoming European expansion will primarily target technology professionals and companies, with additional funding intended to enhance the AI career agent's responsiveness to individual needs and expand its capabilities beyond job matching to provide support for long-term career development.
