RemotePass Raises $17.4M Series B Led by EBRD Venture Capital as Global Employment and Fintech Converge

Published

on

Profitable in 2025, the global HR, payroll, and spend platform is scaling across Europe and the US, with new investment in commercial expansion, AI, and embedded fintech.

LONDON, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RemotePass, the global employment, payroll, and spend platform, has raised $17.4 million in Series B funding led by the EBRD Venture Capital (EBRD), with participation from 500 Global and existing investors Oraseya Capital, 212 VC, Access Bridge Ventures, and Khwarizmi Ventures. The round comes at a pivotal moment when global employment and fintech are converging – and customers are increasingly looking for a single platform that handles both.

Europe and the USA are already two of RemotePass’s fastest-growing markets, with companies turning to the platform to onboard, pay, and support workers across geographies where incumbents have limited reach or experience. The new capital will expand the company’s commercial footprint across these markets, deepen its product investment in financial infrastructure for distributed teams, and accelerate its AI roadmap.

RemotePass reached profitability in early 2025, reflecting underlying unit economics. The company then made a deliberate decision to reinvest in expansion, bringing on EBRD and 500 Global as strategic partners for the next phase. The business has scaled to more than 35,000 workers across 150+ countries and facilitated over $800 million in cross-border payroll, built on a fraction of the capital raised by category leaders.

“This round is about acceleration,” said Kamal Reggad, CEO and Co-Founder of RemotePass. “We have the product, the traction, and now the partners to expand properly. Hiring is just the entry point. What companies actually need is a platform that supports their teams end-to-end, including the financial services that make distributed work function.”

Founded in 2021 by Kamal Reggad and Karim Nadi, RemotePass solves a problem incumbents have largely underserved: hiring, paying, and supporting workers across borders where local entity setup, compliance, and banking infrastructure remain genuinely hard. The platform serves customers, including Logitech, Tata Group, InDrive and Careem. It covers EOR, contractor management, payroll, and compliance, as well as a fintech layer that provides workers with access to USD accounts, global cards, and health insurance.

In late 2025, RemotePass launched SpendCards, embedding corporate expense cards into the same platform that pays the workforce – collapsing payroll, contractor payments, and spend into one system regardless of where a worker sits or how they are employed. Expense management has remained one of the most stubborn operational pain points in cross-border setups, forcing finance teams to stitch together separate vendors. The company has also rolled out AI agents that automate workflows across onboarding, compliance, and support.

“RemotePass is uniquely integrating global payroll and financial products into a single AI-enabled experience. It lowers friction for employers operating across emerging markets while creating real economic opportunity for tens of thousands of workers. The business has reached meaningful scale on a fraction of the capital others in the category have raised — a signal of how disciplined Kamal and his team have been with execution. This is exactly the kind of company we set out to back: a team building a leading platform from an emerging-market, with the product depth and commercial momentum to compete in Europe and the US. We look forward to supporting them through the next phase of growth,” said Amine Chabane, Principal, EBRD Venture Capital.

“RemotePass has built a robust platform that bridges workforce management and fintech into a single integrated stack. The emerging market depth, embedded fintech layer, and early AI investment create structural advantages that are hard to replicate. We backed this exceptional team because they are executing a world-class infrastructure to solve a substantial problem as more businesses scale their workforces across borders,” said Amjad Ahmad, Managing Partner, 500 Global.

The Series B will fund expansion across Europe and the US, deeper compliance coverage, and continued investment in the financial product surface and AI capabilities that have become defining features of the platform.

Redox and Lapsi Health Collaborate to Bring Industry-Leading AI-Powered Tools Directly Into EHR Workflows

Published

By

Fragmented Clinical Workflows Stall Enterprise AI Adoption. Lapsi Health and Redox Connect AI Documentation, Clinical Reference, and Diagnostic Support Directly Into the EHR So Clinicians Never Have to Leave the Chart.

MADISON, Wis. and AMSTERDAM, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Redox and Lapsi Health today announced a collaboration aimed at addressing one of healthcare’s biggest challenges: workflow fragmentation.

As health systems and other healthcare organizations rapidly adopt AI technologies, clinicians are often forced to navigate multiple disconnected systems for documentation, clinical research, diagnostics, and patient care. While AI capabilities continue to improve, implementation and adoption stagnate when those tools fail to integrate into existing clinical workflows.

Together, Lapsi Health and Redox are helping healthcare organizations overcome that challenge by connecting the Keikku Clinical Platform with existing EHR infrastructure.

Keikku is an AI clinical platform that combines AI-powered documentation, contextual clinical reference, diagnostic support, and purpose-built clinical hardware within a single connected workflow. As Lapsi Health’s healthcare data interoperability partner, Redox provides a direct path to integrate with health systems’ EHRs, without building each connection from scratch. That’s possible through Redox’s Connection Network, spanning more than 12,000 healthcare organizations and systems, including over 100 EHRs, as well as revenue cycle platforms, state and regional HIEs, and more.

“Healthcare doesn’t need more disconnected AI tools. Teams need solutions that integrate naturally into existing clinical workflows,” said Rodrigo Alvez, Chief Technology Officer at Lapsi Health. “Our collaboration with Redox helps healthcare organizations reduce integration complexity, accelerate implementation, and connect AI-powered clinical intelligence with the systems clinicians already rely on every day.”

Redox recently launched an industry-leading suite of AI capabilities built to help integration teams move faster, reinforcing its role as the healthcare data infrastructure layer that AI-powered applications like Keikku depend on to run in production.

By combining Keikku’s clinical AI platform with Redox’s interoperability capabilities, organizations can simplify implementation and create a more connected clinical experience.

“The question healthcare organizations are asking isn’t whether AI is ready; it’s how to get it running in their production environment without a twelve-month implementation and a dedicated team to maintain it,” said Rachel Witalec, Chief Product Officer at Redox. “What Redox brings to this collaboration is a data infrastructure layer that fast-tracks the hard integration work upfront and keeps it running. That’s the foundation Keikku needs to perform in the real world.”

Through Redox, health systems can integrate Keikku into existing EHR environments, reducing barriers to adoption and enabling clinicians to access documentation, evidence-based clinical support, and diagnostic insights without leaving the chart.

Organizations can deploy Keikku as a software-only platform or with hardware-enabled capabilities that support ambient clinical audio capture and diagnostic auscultation.

About Lapsi Health

Lapsi Health is a Dutch-American clinical AI company building multi-modal intelligence solutions for modern healthcare. Its flagship platform, Keikku, combines AI-powered clinical documentation, contextual clinical reference, diagnostic support, and purpose-built clinical hardware to help healthcare organizations transform patient interactions into connected clinical workflows.

bidadoo Launches “SnapShot by bidadoo” Mobile Selling Solution, Empowering Equipment Owners to List Assets in Minutes

Published

on

By

SEATTLE, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — bidadoo, the largest and most trusted used equipment and truck auction provider on the world’s largest auction marketplace – eBay, today announced the launch of SnapShot by bidadoo. This innovative, mobile-first selling solution acts as an efficient “eBay on-ramp,” allowing fleet managers and equipment owners to instantly list machinery for sale directly from their smartphone, maximizing net returns while bypassing traditional transport, 3rd-party inspection fees and scheduling.

Backed by bidadoo’s 23 years of online auction expertise, SnapShot by bidadoo addresses a massive pain point for heavy equipment sellers: the high cost, coordination headache, and down-time associated with transporting heavy assets to physical auction yards. With SnapShot by bidadoo, equipment stays on-site and can list on eBay — the world’s largest auction platform — almost instantly.

“From the start, bidadoo has been a pioneer in the online remarketing space, from our strategic partnership with eBay to the efficiency of our ‘Sell-In-Place’ model,” said Loren Carlson, VP of Sales and Business Development. “SnapShot by bidadoo is the next step in this evolution, acting as an intuitive, high-speed onramp that supercharges our unique platform while paving the way for more exciting selling solutions to come.”

“The Snapshot by bidadoo app is intuitive and easy to navigate, providing detailed information that supports efficient decision making,” said Terry Sluder, District Service Manager at Sunbelt Rentals. “Additionally, the support team is top-notch, responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to help when needed.”

How It Works: The Five-Step SnapShot Journey

Capture in Minutes: Sellers download the SnapShot by bidadoo mobile app or open a secure inspection link to capture asset details, photos, and video right from the field. No specialized expertise is required.

Optimized by Experts: Once submitted, bidadoo’s professional production team reviews the asset details, guarantees data quality, and builds a professional, market-ready listing.

Launch & List: Listings go live on bidadoo and eBay’s massive online marketplace. The bidadoo team takes over full management of buyer inquiries, bids, offers, payments, and logistic support.

Global Marketing Reach: Using AI-powered, multi-channel marketing campaigns, assets are pushed to millions of global end-user buyers.

Secure Sale & Pay-out: Following a successful transaction, bidadoo collects the payment, coordinates the logistics and buyer pickup, and quickly distributes secure returns to the seller.

Disrupting the Traditional Auction Model

By keeping equipment on-site (Sell-In-Place) and automating the intake process via mobile technology, SnapShot by bidadoo provides equipment owners with higher net returns and total control over their sales schedule. Furthermore, because bidadoo eliminates the standard 10–15% buyer’s premium found at traditional auctions, buyers can put their full purchasing power directly toward their bids, driving higher final sales values for bidadoo sellers.

SnapShot by bidadoo integrates seamlessly with bidadoo’s versatile sales models, including their Weekly No-Reserve Auctions, 24/7 Buy It Now Marketplace, and the soon to be announced Fleet Exchange (FleetX) platform.

Equipment owners and fleet managers interested in trying the platform or scheduling a team training session can visit www.bidadoo.com/snapshot for more information or contact bidadoo at SnapShotGo@bidadoo.com to get started!
