Eurazeo led a $14.5m Series A round in Kota.

Eurazeo, a private equity firm and investment group, led a $14.5m Series A round in Kota, a technology company specializing in employee benefits solutions, with participation from EQT Ventures, Northzone, Frontline Ventures, 9Yards, Plug and Play. "Kota really stood out to us. With a tech-first approach, they’ve built a robust technical and financial infrastructure: deep integrations with insurers across dozens of countries, an AI layer that brings real-time visibility across the benefits stack, and a seamless API that allows partners — from HRIS to payroll — to embed benefits natively. Having backed companies like Swile, PayFit, Peakon, and Qonto at Eurazeo, we’ve been long-term believers in the power of tech to reshape the way people work. Kota fits right into that vision, and we’re excited to welcome them to the portfolio," Elise Stern, Eurazeo Investment Director .
