BrioHR Secures USD $6.5 Million to Enhance AI-Driven HR Solutions in Singapore
BrioHR has raised S$8.7 million (USD $6.5 million) in Series A funding to expand its digital HR platform across Southeast Asia, focusing heavily on Singapore. The funding round was led by Openspace Ventures, with additional support from Taiwania Hive Ventures and other regional investors.
This capital injection signals growing investor confidence in BrioHR's approach to streamlining HR processes for both SMEs and larger organisations, particularly within Singapore’s dynamic market.
What BrioHR Offers
Serving over 1,000 companies in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and the wider ASEAN region, BrioHR provides an integrated platform that centralises payroll, compliance, and employee engagement. This simplifies HR management and reduces administrative burdens for businesses operating in multiple countries.
With the new funding, BrioHR plans to accelerate its development of artificial intelligence (AI) features and expand its presence in Singapore. This move aligns well with local businesses adapting to evolving workforce demands and shifting HR priorities.
Strategic Importance of Singapore
Benjamin Croc, CEO and co-founder of BrioHR, highlighted Singapore's role as a global tech and innovation hub. He noted that the country’s government initiatives, such as the Singapore Economy 2030 Vision, encourage digital transformation and AI adoption, which perfectly supports BrioHR’s goals.
Singapore’s strong infrastructure, pro-business policies, and talent pool make it an ideal location for scaling tech solutions. The city-state’s ongoing push to build a smart workforce and digital economy provides a favourable environment for companies like BrioHR.
How the Funds Will Be Used
- Further AI integration into the HR platform to boost automation and efficiency
- Expansion of local market engagement efforts to better serve Singapore-based clients
- Scaling operational capabilities to meet growing demand in the region
Hian Goh, Co-founder and Partner at Openspace Ventures, pointed out that Singapore’s position as a regional tech hub makes it the perfect base for BrioHR’s growth. Their platform addresses critical pain points related to HR compliance and management across multiple ASEAN countries, helping businesses adapt faster to digital HR solutions.
Supporting Singapore’s Economy 2030 Vision
BrioHR’s focus on AI-driven HR technology supports Singapore’s broader goal of boosting digital transformation and workforce management across industries. The company sees its platform as a key tool for businesses to tackle compliance challenges and improve employee engagement.
Benjamin Croc summed up the company’s outlook: “This raise isn’t just about scaling up—it’s about shaping the future of work in ASEAN. Singapore, with its pioneering policies and vibrant startup ecosystem, is the perfect launchpad for our next phase of innovation.”
BrioHR will continue expanding across ASEAN, leveraging Singapore’s infrastructure and business climate to deliver effective digital HR solutions for its clients.
