Having raised $150 million at a $2.5 billion valuation, Factorial (@factorialapp) CEO Jordi Romero (@jordiromero) says the AI era won't be defined by fewer workers, but by dramatically more productive ones:

"AI allows people to do more, which makes people more valuable, which ore people, not fewer people."

"We're not the same 1,700 people that we were months ago. We're actually more people. So the headcount is growing."

Today we announce our $150M Series D at a $2.5 billion valuation.
We're one of the most valuable AI scale-ups in Europe.
But the real news isn't the number, it's what we built.
We didn't add AI on top. We rebuilt everything around one belief: people are the potential.
ne, the AI Workforce Operations Platform where people and agents work as one.
