VeroSkills Announces $5.3M Series Seed Financing

Gunderson Dettmer represented client VeroSkills, the AI hiring platform focused on solving the $1 trillion blue-collar labor shortage crisis, in its $5.3 million Series Seed financing led by Yonder Ventures, with participation from Circadian Ventures, Motivate Ventures, Colchuck and Tony Summerville, founder of Fleetio.

The Gunderson deal team was led by Bennett Yee and included Jake Winton and Ben Lezin.
