French startup Brigad just raised a new $30 million funding round as well as more than $5 million in debt, reports TechCrunch. The company operates a marketplace for restaurants, caterers, private clinics, retirement homes and hospitals so that they can find freelancers for short-term missions. Balderton Capital is leading the round, with Wendel Group, Serena Capital and Square Capital also participating.

The startup originally started with the hospitality industry in France so that restaurants could fill gaps in the schedule with extra waiters, chefs or bartenders. A couple of years ago, it expanded to a second industry with care workers. With the funding round, the company wants to grow its marketplace with more organisations and more freelancers. It wants to double down on its two industries in its two core markets: France and the UK.
