A little bit about us

We are re-organising world’s professional data to be more actionable for hiring. On a broad outlook, we are a data intelligence company where both data (ie actionable rich data on candidates and their profiles) and intelligence (effective matching) are equally important

Summer 2019

We (ie Amit, Chetan and Anubhav) were running our previous startup called Memer - a consumer social app trying to take on Tiktok. It was during that time that we realised how broken hiring really was. For a startup looking for it's first engineer, our quality bar was understandably high. We were not okay with just about anybody joining us; we had very specific characteristics we were looking for. Relying on inbound meant that we would be compromising on those traits.

We spent 3 months with 1 founder dedicatedly sourcing full-time and other 2 interviewing half the time. We exhausted all possible channels. We were very frustrated - Doesn't every company in the world face similar problems? How come nothing better than LinkedIn exists out there?

After a lot of struggle we did end up hiring, but that itch remained.

We ended up getting acquired by Sharechat (a multi-billion unicorn backed by Twitter and Google). This picture is taken on our first day of acquisition.

Winter 2021

When we decided to startup again, it was obvious that we are going to solve the biggest problem we faced in our previous one. Turns out most other organisations also a very similar problem.

After about a month of starting up, we got into YC. While interviewing for YC - we did not have any product but we did have revenue and a novel approach to "pro-active hiring".
