Milan-based future of work company Cosmico has raised €12 million in a funding round combining equity and debt, led by P101 SGR. Existing investors, including Prana Ventures, also participated in the round.
Alongside the funding round, Cosmico completed the acquisition of Flatmates, a creator agency focused on applying Talent-as-a-Service models to the creator economy across Italy, Spain and the United States. The transaction gives Cosmico full ownership of the company following its earlier acquisition of a majority stake in 2024.
Cosmico operates as a holding company focused on the future of work, with activities spanning Italy and Spain. Its ecosystem is organised across several business verticals, including Talent-as-a-Service for digital professionals and creators, community-based employee engagement, and AI-supported team design. The company says its acquisition strategy will focus both on expanding into adjacent future-of-work segments and strengthening existing business units through further consolidation.
Founded in 2021, Flatmates operates across talent representation, creator-brand partnerships, original content production and editorial channels. The company works with brands including Ducati, NordVPN, Google, Xiaomi, Trade Republic and Generali. According to Cosmico, the acquisition strengthens the group’s position in the creator economy market across Italy, Spain and the United States.
Francesco Marino, CEO and co-founder of the Cosmico Group, said the funding supports Cosmico’s long-term expansion plans and continued acquisition activity:
Cosmico is no longer a scale-up with a single product: we have become a future of work holding company, with multiple verticals and a growth strategy that also includes strategic acquisitions.
Founded by Francesco Marino, Simone Tornabene, and Matteo Roversi, Cosmico today operates across Italy and Spain with a network of more than 35,000 digital professionals, more than 300 clients and teams based in Milan and Madrid.
The new funding will support the next phase of the group’s expansion strategy, including three additional acquisitions planned by the end of 2026.
