HR Tech / AI Market: Germany's Flip Raises €22 Million for Frontline AI Platform
Stuttgart-based Flip, an employee experience platform for frontline workers, has raised €22 million to expand its AI infrastructure and knowledge tools for deskless roles. The round was backed by existing investors Notion Capital and HV Capital, with L-Bank joining as a new investor. Flip combines communication, workflows, digital identity, and AI in one app. It plans to grow 'Flip Fusion,' an AI app builder that generates custom frontline apps, and 'Frontline Identity,' which removes the need for a corporate email address. The company counts Bosch, REWE Group, SIXT, TEDi, FORVIA HELLA, Greif, and Europart among its customers. The investment follows a €25 million Series A extension in 2025 and a €26.5 million raise in 2022. CEO Benedikt Brand said the goal is to bring AI to the 80% of employees who do not work at a desk.
