- **Headquarters**: New York City, United States (with a significant office in Paris, France)
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Maxime Legardez-Coquin (CEO), Paul-Louis Caylar (COO), Benjamin Chino (CPO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: HR technology, AI recruiting, talent acquisition
- **Target customers**: B2B; enterprise organizations (e.g., H&M, Capgemini, BNP Paribas, Amazon, Nestlé, Sephora) and staffing firms / RPOs
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Give human resources more-than-human powers” – building AI agents that liberate HR teams, advance organizations, and expand human potential.

## Products & Services
- **Mochi** – AI conversational screening agent that replaces manual recruiter phone screens. Conducts branded voice or web interviews to check eligibility, motivation, and language skills.
- **Shiro** – Skills assessment agent that delivers short, science-based tests (cognitive, behavioral, technical) early in the funnel to replace subjective CV screening.
- **Ken** – Deep assessment agent for late‑funnel, high‑stakes hires (case studies, coding challenges, leadership scenarios). Available as an add‑on to Shiro.
- **Kumi** – Scheduling agent that integrates with Google and Outlook calendars for candidate self‑booking, reducing no‑shows.
- **Riku** (early access) – Internal mobility and talent development agent that maps employee skills, suggests career paths, and supports upskilling.
- **Interview Co‑pilot** – Live interview structuring with transcript, structured notes, and scoring against competencies set during intake.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $39,143,444 (Seed $12.4M in Nov 2021 led by Founders Future; Series A $26.8M in Jan 2025 led by Blossom Capital)

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI agents that work on top of existing ATS** – No rip‑and‑replace; integrates with current systems, syncing data from ATS, HRIS, and other tools.
- **Bias‑mitigation built in** – Fairness controls, structured methods, and external audits limit unwanted bias; explainable scoring and audit trails make decisions defensible to legal and compliance.
- **Science‑grade assessments** – Models validated against actual performance data, proven correlation to job performance, and independent audits.
- **End‑to‑end automation** – From intake to hire recommendation, covering screening, assessment, interviewing, and scheduling, all in one platform.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expanding AI agents for HR** – Riku (internal mobility) signals a move beyond hiring into talent management and upskilling.
- **Staffing firm transformation** – Helping staffing and RPO firms deliver lower‑cost, higher‑quality services at scale.
