Why AI Stealth Startup
Most enterprises are stuck in the 'chatbot' phase of AI, unable to deploy agents that actually perform complex work autonomously.
This startup is building the critical infrastructure layer that allows teams to scale AI agents across high-stakes business workflows with full observability.
Problems that matter. Company that matters. Infrastructure that matters.
Accelerate economic growth by connecting every talent to the work they are meant to do
Hiring got broken. Too focused on companies. Not enough on people. We're fixing it.
Human judgment plus AI. Talent first.
Built By
We built Grapevine. More than 1 million engineers use it to share real talk about companies, salaries, culture. We saw the problem up close.
Great engineers lost in broken systems.
So we built Round1. Backed by Peak XV and Kae Capital. One mission: connect exceptional engineers to work that matters.
