Connecting individuals with short-term tasks in local stores, enabling them to earn flexibly, while helping retailers manage their staff more efficiently – this is the focus of the fast-growing platform, Traxlo. The company has now secured a €1.6 million investment from DEPO Ventures and other venture capital funds such as Coinvest Capital, Bad Ideas Fund, Plug and Play, NGL, with participation from existing investors Iron Wolf Capital, Antler and others. The startup will use the funds to expand its pay-per-task labor infrastructure across Central and Eastern Europe, with launches underway in the Czech Republic and Romania.

DEPO Ventures, a key early investor, has supported Traxlo since its pre-seed stage. The company’s growth was further demonstrated by winning the Startup World Cup at the Engaged Investments Conference, (earning them a spot in the global finals in Silicon Valley, where they will compete for a $1 million investment prize.)

As generative AI displaces millions of low-skilled white-collar roles, Traxlo is capturing the next trillion-euro shift: redefining how physical work is sourced, priced, verified, and scaled. Rather than selling shift hours or temp jobs, Traxlo offers a new model: outcome-priced tasks, distributed locally via its worker app (tasku.app) and soon to be orchestrated by its AI engine (tasku.ai), which will automate task creation and completion checks using LLM agents and computer vision.

“At first glance, Traxlo solves labor shortages in retail and logistics. But under the hood, it’s building a system-level transformation in how short-term work gets done,” said Viktorija Trimbel, Managing Director at Coinvest Capital. “It’s rare to see such a grounded product already generate real value while hinting at platform potential this large.”

In just three years, Traxlo started collaborations with 60% of the largest commerce players in Europe, including names like REWE Group, Zabka and others. Its marketplace has already delivered over 300,000 physical tasks, ranging from shelf replenishment and product scanning to warehouse unloading and e-grocery picking. Each task is standardized, teachable in a dozen minutes, and executable by local workers or soon – robots.

“We’re not another gig or shift labor app. We’re building the labor infrastructure for the age of AI,” said Paul Vezelis, co-founder and CEO of Traxlo. “If AI is automating knowledge work, Traxlo is standardizing and distributing physical work at the same scale.”

The company’s model unlocks instant local labor in cities with staffing shortages with its maximum flexibility. Workers complete tasks on their terms and get paid weekly. Businesses buy guaranteed outcomes, not hourly presence. For local communities it is revolutionizing the way people can earn predictable income while providing value to businesses.

With this round, Traxlo is doubling down on its strategy, expanding geo coverage and scaling. Future product layers include agentic AI features, doubling down on automation, and connecting real robot workers into the same marketplace of tasks.

Think AWS like infrastructure, but for real-world work, globally.
