Our take

Ava Labs is a Sweden-based startup that has developed a data-driven HR platform used for recruiting.

The company's SaaS product differentiates itself in the market by being scientifically led. The platform combines psychometrics, data science, and machine learning in order to accurately evaluate candidates' abilities and to assess their suitability for the role. By using Alva Lab's SaaS solution, companies can reduce the time and costs associated with recruiting and can make hiring more inclusive and unbiased.

The company has over 200+ customers, counting Budbee, Tele2, Hedvig, Deloitte, and Northvolt among its clients. Alva Labs plans to use its VNV Global-led Series A to accelerate international expansion, particularly emphasising UK growth.
