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.
