The Codemotion platform has announced an investment round of 8 million euros, led by Sinergia Venture Fund, the venture capital fund specializing in B2B scale-ups. A selection of partners participated in the round, including Azimut Digitech Fund (with Gellify as advisor), Endeavor Catalyst, Primo Ventures, P101 and CDP Venture Capital.

Codemotion supports the largest developer community in Europe: more than 250,000 professionals to which it offers content with the latest developments in the sector, training, employment and networking opportunities, and a network of more than 300 companies and startups interested in hiring technological talent.

Both actors are accompanied by consultants throughout the selection process.

In addition, the development of Codemotion Talent will continue, which, in less than a year after its launch, already has a pool of more than 5,000 registered professionals looking for work.
