Humand, an Argentine company that makes software for workers who do not sit at desks, raised a $66m Series A, announced on 23 February 2026.
Kaszek Ventures and Goodwater Capital led the round. Y Combinator and Newtopia VC took part, along with a group of founders investing personally. Bloomberg Línea named MercadoLibre co-founder Marcos Galperin, Dropbox founder Arash Ferdowsi, Rappi founder Sebastián Mejía and Rajat Suri. Humand's own press page also lists Martin Varsavsky and Vercel founder Guillermo Rauch. No valuation was reported.
SiliconANGLE said the money will fund expansion of Humand's platform across the United States and 51 countries and continued AI development.
“Our goal is very simple: We want to become the default operating system for companies with deskless workers,”Nicolas Benenzon, co-founder and CEO, Humand
What Humand does
Humand, founded in 2020 according to SiliconANGLE, builds a mobile app that serves as a single layer between companies and their frontline staff in areas such as manufacturing, retail, healthcare, construction and logistics. Workers can use it for time-off requests, benefits, performance feedback, internal communications, training and documents. SiliconANGLE reported more than 30 modules, while Bloomberg Línea counted 20.
AI is built into the product, including natural-language requests and agents that handle routine questions. Eric Kim, co-founder and managing partner of Goodwater, said embedding agents across communication, HR and operations turns workplace software from static systems of record into systems of action.
Humand said it is used by more than 1.6 million workers at more than 1,500 organisations, naming Siemens, Home Depot, Deere, MINISO, Chili's, Domino's and OXXO as customers.
Brazil first
Bloomberg Línea reported that Brazil will become a priority market. Humand entered it about a year and a half ago and has about 150,000 users there, with clients that include Dia, Oxxo, MRV, Magazine Luiza and Ogilvy.
The company plans to widen its local presence, build a partner network and grow its direct sales team for large accounts. It expects revenue in Brazil to grow 174% this year, though it does not disclose the total, and plans to raise its Brazilian headcount from 20 to 50 by December. Globally it has 420 staff.
Leandro Oliveira, Humand's director for EMEA and Brazil, said that if the growth materialises Brazil could become the company's main market. Roughly 70% of its Brazilian clients have up to 20,000 employees, he said, and the focus after the round will be larger companies.
What the money is for
Beyond Brazil, Humand said it will expand in the United States and Asia, according to Bloomberg Línea. It also plans to speed up AI agent development to automate employee onboarding, and to turn its existing assistant, Sammy AI, into an agent that uses a company's own history to answer employee requests.
Nicolas Benenzon, the co-founder and chief executive, said the company's goal is to become the default operating system for companies with deskless workers. He and co-founder Gerónimo Maspero, the chief technology officer, are both under 30, according to Bloomberg Línea.
Bloomberg Línea cited a 2020 study by Emergence Capital estimating that about 80% of the global workforce fits the deskless profile.
