GyverBase banked €1.4M in a pre-Seed round led by Brighteye. The investment includes participation from āltitude, Vento Ventures, Zanichelli Venture, and existing investor Antler, alongside various business angels.
Based in Brescia, the company develops workforce infrastructure specifically for the electrical trade. Its core product is an AI-powered conversational platform designed to mirror traditional word-of-mouth hiring, helping electrical contractors recruit and manage skilled labour. The startup plans to expand its software to include upskilling modules and productivity tools for technical tasks such as electrical design and PLC programming.
The company was founded following an Antler residency in late 2024 by a team that previously operated a general contractor for solar installations. This background highlighted a critical bottleneck in the European energy transition: a projected deficit of 5.8 million skilled blue-collar workers by 2030, particularly as renewable energy and data centre projects accelerate.
As European industrial policy shifts toward rapid electrification, the digitisation of trade-specific labour markets represents a vital move to bridge the growing gap between infrastructure demands and available technical talent.
