Capital has announced a new strategic investment in Talenteo, an Algerian-founded RH Tech startup offering a comprehensive SaaS solution for HR and payroll management, tailored specifically to the needs of SMEs across Africa.
By 2030, Africa will be home to over 1 billion working-age individuals, making it the world’s largest talent pool. With 80% of jobs created by SMEs, human resources management is becoming a critical factor for performance, compliance, and competitiveness on the continent.
Talenteo emerges as a locally designed tech solution that addresses these needs, offering a simple, intelligent, and regulation-compliant platform, powered by AI and local legal references, already adopted by over 10,000 active users and nearly 150 clients.
The platform covers:
- Personnel administration
- Time and payroll management
- Talent development
- Regulatory compliance
Louai Djaffer, CEO of Talenteo, stated:
“We believe company success begins with investing in their people. Talenteo was built to support African businesses in digitizing their HR operations for growth and impact.”
The 6-figure investment (undisclosed) led by 216 Capital marks a pivotal step in Talenteo’s regional expansion journey, enabling:
- Opening of a new office in Tunisia
- Further tech development, especially in AI
- Expansion into strategic Francophone African HR markets
Dhekra Khelifi, Partner at 216 Capital Ventures, commented:
“Talenteo represents the kind of scalable, locally rooted innovation we’re committed to backing—solutions built for real-world African business realities.”
