Factorial Secures $150M Series D, Achieves $2.5 Billion Valuation

Barcelona-based Factorial has announced a successful $150 million Series D funding round, elevating its valuation to $2.5 billion. This positions Factorial as one of Europe's leading AI scale-ups. General Catalyst spearheaded the investment, marking its first equity stake in the company. The firm has also pledged an additional $540 million through its Customer Value Fund to boost Factorial’s growth strategy without additional equity dilution.

The funding supports Factorial's transformation from a SaaS company to a robust AI Workforce Operations Platform, aiming to become the key infrastructure for European businesses. This strategic evolution focuses on AI-driven workforce solutions over traditional software expansion methods.

A significant portion of the investment will enhance Factorial's presence in Germany, with a new office in Munich targeting mid-market and enterprise clientele. Germany is considered Factorial's top international growth priority due to its rapidly expanding customer base and market potential.
