We're excited to share that Clera was recently featured in the press! After launching Clera three weeks ago, our story was covered in WSJ, news.com.au, Tech Times, TechBullion and more. What came through: most AI in recruiting is built to filter people out. We're building the opposite - an agent that advocates for candidates and makes direct intros to founders at venture-backed startups. Links to all four pieces in the comments.

We just raised a $3M pre-seed to kill the job board. Everyone's arguing about whether AI will replace us. Maybe it will. But AI is also producing the hottest wave of company building we've ever seen. And being part of one of those teams is something that doesn’t come around twice. Introducing Clera: the talent agent in your pocket. Clera gets to know you over iMessage or WhatsApp, learns what you actually want, and introduces you directly to founders and hiring managers at the fastest-growing startups. Because the best opportunities come from someone saying “you two should meet.” Someone who deeply understands both sides. Within months, Clera already represents 80k+ candidates and works with 600+ growing startups. Many users land their first interview within hours and end up choosing between multiple job offers. Daniel, Alexander, and I started in Berlin and then spent a year working across hacker houses in LATAM (plenty of stories yet to tell!). Now the whole team just relocated to San Francisco. Same belief the whole way: If AI is going to reshape work, it might as well work for the people doing it. Huge thanks to Samit and Ramy at 1984 Ventures for leading the round. Let’s make it count.

What if you never had to apply for a job again? Today we're announcing Clera and our $3M pre-seed, led by 1984 Ventures, with angels from a16z, Sequoia, EQT, OpenAI, LinkedIn, Apple, and more. Clera is an AI talent agent. You tell us what you want. We match you to roles at 600+ venture-backed startups and introduce you directly to the founder or hiring manager. No applications. No recruiter calls. First conversations within hours. Update: We launched on Product Hunt with the launch and got #1 Product of the Day, thanks for the support!

Your #1 candidate just rejected your offer… Almost every hiring manager has been there. Here are two impactful methods to avoid this: First - send a short private memo called “Why we chose you”. Essentially, a short doc or Loom explaining: > what stood out > where they beat other candidates > what strengths you’re betting on People rarely hear this clearly → very persuasive. Second: map mutual connections. If someone they trust (ex-manager, ex-colleague, mutual connection) - can vouch for you or the team, the perceived risk drops instantly. Warm signal always beats your “pitch”.

75k people now have Clera working for them in the background. We're seeing more signups every day which tells us the problem is real: recruiting is broken on both sides. Candidates spam applications while companies drown in bad fits. Clera fixes both. You get an AI agent that learns what you're great at and represents you to startups that actually match. Companies get people who fit the role, the bar, and the culture. Get matched or start hiring - link in the comments. p.s. Bonus points if you can guess the street. We might be spending a lot more time here soon...
