Club Employés, the employee benefits platform for Works Councils (CSEs), is restructuring its capital. The scale-up today announced a €15 million fundraising round led by Verto, a growth capital fund dedicated to profitable, fast-growing companies. This strategic transaction will enable the company to strengthen its teams, launch a new card-based offering, and support its expansion across Europe.
Making employee benefits simpler, more useful, and more accessible
As purchasing power becomes an increasingly critical issue, elected members of Social and Economic Committees (CSEs) still struggle to fully leverage the tools available to them to meaningfully improve employees’ daily lives. Unclear subsidies, time-consuming reimbursement processes, fragmented and difficult-to-activate offers: employee benefit schemes are often underused, to the detriment of those who need them most.
It was in response to this challenge that Romain Rostagnat and Pierre-Thomas Lebatteux founded Club Employés in 2016. Their ambition: to deliver a comprehensive, easy-to-use CSE solution genuinely designed to maximize the economic and social impact of employee benefits.
A global, local, and tailored solution
Club Employés offers a comprehensive platform that centralizes all employee benefit services, simplifying implementation for both CSE representatives and HR departments.
Through a single access point, employees can benefit from subsidies, e-vouchers and gift cards, discounts on more than 500,000 offers across France, as well as organize group travel, professional events, or access training through a network of specialized partners.
Club Employés stands out for the richness of its ecosystem, its human-centered approach, and above all its strong local footprint. With 16 offices located in major cities across France, its teams work closely with CSE representatives to provide hands-on support. This local presence also enables the company to develop regional partnerships, offering employees practical benefits tailored to their everyday lives and local needs.
Profitable, sustainable growth supporting a European ambition
Thanks to a positioning that combines ease of use, breadth of offerings, and close customer support, Club Employés has established itself as a key player in the market. Today, the scale-up serves more than 10,000 client companies and 1.6 million users. Profitable since 2024, the company generated €60 million in revenue last year and expects to reach €100 million in 2025.
The €15 million funding round led by Verto now gives Club Employés the resources to accelerate its growth toward a short-term target of €300 million in revenue. To achieve this, the company plans to strengthen its teams (projects, sales, and support functions), launch a new card-based offering, and invest further in its technology to deliver an even more seamless, comprehensive, and personalized platform. At the same time, Club Employés intends to structure its international expansion, with a first launch in the United Kingdom planned for later this year.
“Club Employés represents a new generation of companies that successfully combine strong regional roots with technological performance. The relevance of its model, the strength of its strategic vision, and the commitment of its teams make it a company with very high potential. We are delighted to support them in this new phase of growth, both in France and across Europe” said Pierre Cuer, Investment Director at Verto.
Romain Rostagnat, Co-founder and CEO of Club Employés, concluded:
“I would like to thank the Verto teams for their trust, as well as our historical investors whose support enabled us to build the foundations of our growth and who continue to stand by us today. This fundraising marks an important milestone for Club Employés. It gives us the means to further strengthen our tangible impact on employees’ purchasing power by supporting an ever-growing number of companies in their social policies.”
