Restart successful
After a tough summer, things turned around in July. Back then, I met our current lead investor: Jesse Jeng from Scalehouse Capital. Jesse was instantly convinced — not only of our vision, but also of our story. My exit with Softgarden, the fact that Yannick is on board, and our clear idea of how recruiting with agentic AI will work in the future — it was all right.
In August and September, we did it: We set up our pre-seed financing for Paul's job. A total of 1.4 million euros — led by Scalehouse Capital and supported by a great group of Super Angels: Alexander Brühl, Rainer Hofmann, Andreas Junck, Carsten Reetz and Michael May.
At the same time, we were also able to take the work we had already put into the product in 2024 and 2025 into the new company. Honestly, it wasn't cheap either 😉 — but it was worth it because it gave us a strong foundation on which we could immediately continue building.
And we didn't start alone: With customers such as Teamwork, Alloheim and VD Mayr, with whom we worked before, we were able to go through this turbulent period. We are incredibly grateful that they have remained loyal to us. On this basis, we know that we can count on our customers.
Today, as three founders — Yannick, Putu and I — we stand on really clean foundations. Without legacy issues, with a clear setup and a mission that drives us all: to completely rethink recruiting with agentic AI.
This restart feels like a fresh start — only better because we now have all the learnings in our luggage. We're stronger, more focused and have the right basis to build something really big.
