Very proud to have advised Aethon.nl, the leading Dutch provider of tech-enabled staffing solutions for essential sectors, on raising EUR 9.6m in equity financing from Endeit Capital. This marks deal number 15 for Beekers Capital since inception, and the first announcement of this year.

The funding will accelerate Aethon’s workforce technology roadmap and expand its capacity to address persistent labor shortages in healthcare, childcare, education, and public services.

I have to say that Aethon's journey to date has been remarkable. Founded in2005 as a traditional staffing firm, the team used the challenges of the Covid years to make a decisive move into technology by launching Aelio in 2023, a B2B platform integrating AI-driven recruitment, planning, supplier management, and compliance .

Platform growth has surged since launch, and with a renowned tech investor like Endeit Capital now backing the business, this deal is a powerful validation of Aethon’s transformation from services to software.

Huge congrats to ChrisKok and Mitchell de Bos for pulling this off. Many talk about embedding tech into legacy services — few execute it at this level.

Legal advisory by deBreij (Gaston Freijser, Joëlvan Wijk, Maxime Jongh), always a pleasure working with you And as you all know by now, to close off this puff piece of shameless self-promotion: if you're a founder or CEO of a technology business looking to raise capital or exit — feel free to DM me and see how we can help each other out!
