The company holds a strong USP and company values in customer obsession and innovation that helps us expand into new markets. We are continuously bringing new updates and enhanced features, whilst ensuring the highest level of customer support. This investment will bring us closer to our goals and help us expand into other markets,” said CEO and founder Andrew Cetinic.

“We believe that Peopleforce has the team, product, and local expertise to be the leading HRM solution in both the CIS region and other frontier markets. Today there are limited solutions that offer local language and integration support, while more and more companies understand the importance of digitalizing their business processes, and so there is a significant opportunity for Peopleforce to capture,” said Kiyan Zandiyeh, Sturgeon CEO.

Sturgeon Capital is a leading frontier markets investment boutique with headquarter in London. Sturgeon focuses on technology-enabled businesses that offer products and services that solve an acute pain point for a large untapped potential market.
