Milan-based Cosmico closed a €12M Series B (May 18, 2026) and acquired Flatmates to expand its Future of Work platform, which uses AI to match freelance digital talent with enterprise clients. The company hit €24M revenue in 2025 (+109% YoY) and has already contracted €20M in sales in the first four months of 2026, targeting €40M for the full year. The Talent-as-a-Service model — AI-curated freelancer matching replacing traditional recruiting workflows — represents a specific pattern of AI disrupting HR staffing agencies.
