About Cosmico

Cosmico is a Milan-based startup that has built an ecosystem for the digital workplace of the future, positioned at the intersection of freelance talent, on-demand enterprise hiring, and the emerging professional creator market. With over 35,000 digital professionals in its network and more than 300 active clients, Cosmico has become a reference point for those seeking quality professional flexibility โ€” and for companies that need to integrate digital skills rapidly without the time and cost of traditional recruitment. The โ‚ฌ12 million Series B, led by P101 SGR with participation from existing investors including Prana Ventures, combines equity and debt โ€” a structure that reflects the company's maturity: no longer seeking validation but looking for fuel for operational growth. In parallel, Cosmico completed the full acquisition of Flatmates, a creator economy agency it had already majority-controlled since 2024, consolidating its offering across the full spectrum of digital work โ€” from technical freelancers to content creators. The presence in Italy and Spain is strategic: both markets have a large pool of independent workers with digital skills seeking continuity of work and access to structured clients, and companies that need these skills but prefer flexible models over permanent hires. Cosmico positions itself as the infrastructure for this matching.
