Mission
Enable startups to access top-tier AI, data, and engineering talent at an affordable cost. The goal: democratize innovation by removing hiring barriers.

Startups sought AI-powered matching and smarter team recommendations. The platform needed faster execution to meet evolving expectations.
About Client
Our client runs a global startup-building platform, a digital ecosystem where founders pitch ideas and assemble their core teams from scratch.
The platform enables:
- Founders to define startup concepts, identify missing skill sets, and build teams globally
- Professional developers, engineers, designers, marketers, legal experts, and mentors to create profiles, upload resumes, showcase experience, and apply to early-stage ventures
- A hybrid model where professionals can either apply or be directly invited by founders based on specific needs
This platform has been gaining traction in both the US and European startup ecosystems, especially among early-stage founders looking to move quickly without hiring overhead.
The Challenge
Despite a strong product-market fit, the company faced multiple challenges:
Scarcity of AI Talent in Target Markets
AI, Data Science, and DevOps engineers were either unavailable or came with prohibitively high salaries in the US and Europe.
Limited Internal Tech Bandwidth
The platform itself relied heavily on third-party developers. There was no dedicated internal AI team, which limited innovation and slowed feature rollouts.
Hiring Constraints
They needed to move fast, but local hiring cycles were slow. Vetting, onboarding, and retaining talent across multiple roles wasn’t scalable internally.
Cost Efficiency
For a startup empowering other startups, the cost of building high-end AI capabilities locally didn’t align with their lean operational model.
