Ringtime raises €1.8M to send AI agents after blue-collar candidates

Recruiters spend hours a day calling, leaving voicemails, and asking the same questions. Ringtime automates the whole thing, and has already found a second home in real estate. There is a well-worn frustration in blue-collar recruitment. A warehouse operative applies on Monday, hears nothing by Tuesday, and has accepted a job somewhere else by Wednesday. […]

Multiply raises $9.5M to build AI agents that keep B2B ad campaigns from going stale

The San Francisco startup emerges from stealth with Mayfield backing and a pitch that treats ad creative as a continuous learning loop, not a quarterly deliverable. Every B2B marketing team knows the problem. A campaign launches, the creative is fresh, the targeting feels right, and then, slowly, it starts dying. Audiences tune out. Click rates […]

Finnish startup Elea & Lili raises €2.5M to replace the plastic

Blify secures $2.1M to bring AI-native training to Slack and Teams

Corporate training has a staging problem. Companies spend billions on learning management systems that employees log into once, skip half the modules, and forget about until HR sends a reminder. Blify thinks the fix is simpler than a new platform: put the training where the work already is. The Paris-based startup announced this week that […]
