Humand Raises $66M Series A for Deskless Workforce AI Platform

SAN FRANCISCO: Humand secures $66 million in Series A funding to expand its AI-powered operating system designed for deskless workers across global industries.

The round was co-led by Kaszek and Goodwater Capital, with participation from Y Combinator, Arash Ferdowsi, Guillermo Rauch, Martin Varsavsky and Rajat Suri. The funding brings Humand’s total capital raised to more than $70 million since its founding in 2020.

Deskless workers represent nearly 80 percent of the global workforce, approximately 2.7 billion people, yet most workplace software has been designed for corporate employees working from desktops. This leaves deskless workers digitally unreachable, relying on paper processes, bulletin boards and limited access to company systems.

Humand’s mobile-first platform centralizes communication, HR processes, training and employee services into a single environment. The system uses AI agents to automate tasks such as onboarding, requests and inquiries across distributed frontline teams. Employees can request time off, receive performance feedback, access benefits and complete training using natural language.

The platform is now used by more than 1.6 million workers across 1,500 organizations in 51 countries, including Siemens, Home Depot, Deere & Co., MINISO, Chili’s, Domino’s and OXXO.

“Our goal is very simple: We want to become the default operating system for companies with deskless workers,” Nicolas Benenzon, CEO and co-founder of Humand, said. “The majority of the global workforce has been overlooked by enterprise software for decades.”

The funding will accelerate Humand’s expansion in the United States and across the 51 countries where its customers operate. The capital will also fund continued AI development, expanding automation across core workflows and processes.
