Professionals now have their own AI representatives, and the startup behind that pitch has just secured $1.5M in seed funding. Profound.me, which pairs each user with an AI rep built from a 30-minute conversation, is betting that a continuous, evolving understanding of your experience and ambitions beats a static résumé.
The company’s model extends to hiring managers, who can create AI reps for roles and teams, capturing far more context than a job description. That, the startup argues, leads to sharper discovery and better matches on both sides of the hiring equation. The fresh capital will help scale the platform, though specifics on how the funds will be deployed were not disclosed.
