Zurich, Switzerland; London, United Kingdom - March 7th, 2016 — Coople, Europe’s #1 on-demand marketplace for temporary staffing, today announced the completion of a growth equity investment led by One Peak and Goldman Sachs Private Capital. The investment will help Coople accelerate its international expansion strategy and support its product development roadmap.

Coople’s cross-device software platform enables businesses to find temporary workers to cover immediate hourly or daily staffing needs around the clock. 98% of all job requests are filled within 4 hours from creation, thereby enabling businesses to manage unpredictability and flexibly respond to staff shortages and peak demand. The company’s suite of mobile and web apps disrupts the traditional staffing market with a fully automated end-to-end solution, combining enterprise-grade technology with an intuitive user experience. Coople transforms the way its customers manage their workforce and significantly reduces staffing costs from day 1, whilst workers love the flexibility and additional income they can generate through the platform.

“We are thrilled to partner up with One Peak and Goldman Sachs,” commented Viktor Calabrò, founder and CEO of Coople. “This is a significant milestone in Coople’s history and the beginning of an exciting new era for the company. We envisage becoming the first truly global on-demand staffing marketplace, providing businesses in major cities around the world with a technology solution that fits their needs. Today, we already work with more than 5,000 customers and are scaling rapidly with the support and operational guidance of our investors.”

“One Peak is delighted to lead Coople’s first institutional investment round together with Goldman Sachs. We are impressed with the rapid growth of the business and its exceptional technology platform,” said David Klein and Humbert de Liedekerke, Co-Founders and Managing Partners of One Peak. “We look forward to supporting the company with its international roll-out strategy and believe that it has all the right ingredients to become a category-defining market leader.”
