Barcelona, Spain — In a massive validation for the European SaaS (Software as a Service) sector, HR software startup Factorial has closed a colossal $150 million Series D funding round led by General Catalyst techstartups.com . This latest injection of capital pushes the company's valuation to an impressive $2.5 billion, officially cementing its status as a rare European "unicorn" in the human resources technology space.

"Factorial's journey from a simple time-tracking tool to a $2.5 billion HR powerhouse proves that boring, back-office software can achieve massive scale if it solves real pain points for businesses."

To understand Factorial's success, you have to look at the unglamorous world of corporate HR. Managing payroll, time-off, performance reviews, and onboarding is a logistical nightmare for small and medium-sized businesses. Factorial built a unified, easy-to-use platform that automates these headaches, allowing companies to focus on growth rather than paperwork. This $150 million war chest will allow Factorial to aggressively expand into the US market and acquire smaller competitors, proving that investors are still highly willing to fund profitable, B2B software startups that generate real revenue.
