Gyver banked €1.4M in a pre-seed round led by Brighteye Ventures. The investment includes participation from Apside and Z10. The Milan-based startup plans to use the capital to scale its operations and address the critical shortage of skilled technical labour across the continent.
The company operates a platform designed to recruit, train and deploy blue-collar workers specifically for the green energy transition. By focusing on electricians and technical installers, Gyver connects qualified professionals with companies installing heat pumps, solar panels and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Europe currently faces a significant deficit of technical personnel, which serves as a bottleneck for national decarbonisation targets. Gyver addresses this by streamlining the hiring process and providing vocational training pathways to ensure workers meet the specific safety and technical standards required for renewable energy projects.
As European infrastructure hardware becomes more accessible, the capacity to deploy it shifts from a supply chain challenge to a human capital requirement.
