Selenios
Agentic AI that automates sourcing, outreach, scheduling, technical evaluations, and recruiter notes. End-to-end hiring as a workflow.
Recruiting is one of the highest-leverage workflows in any company and one of the least automated. Most “ATS” tools are databases pretending to be products. Selenios is doing what an actual senior recruiter does (read the resume, contact the candidate, run the interview, judge based on context) and replacing the manual loop with agentic AI.
Why I backed it
Whole-job replacement, not feature add-on. Selenios isn’t selling “AI for recruiters” as a copilot. They’re automating the task end-to-end, sourcing, scheduling, screening, scoring. That’s tier-2 minimum, often tier-1. The right shape of AI product for this cycle.
Founders out of Silicon Valley, building in Buenos Aires. Esteban Zecler, Julián Bender, Jonathan Muszkat, they left big-co salaries to build in LatAm. Pattern I trust: people who’ve seen scaled SaaS up close, choosing to build the next thing in the region they understand.
Real numbers fast. 35+ customers in four months, $1.2M pre-seed, multi-sector traction. Not a deck, a product people are paying for already.
The bet
The cost of hiring a candidate drops 5–10x with end-to-end agentic recruiting. Whoever owns that workflow in LatAm before the multinationals do is going to be a default purchase for every mid-market HR team.
