The talent existed. The opportunities existed.
But the systems connecting them were fundamentally limited.
While building mc², a startup accelerator in Latin America, Daniel and Mario kept hearing the same problem from founders: finding great, startup-ready talent was incredibly difficult. So they started helping.
What began with introductions quickly became something much bigger. They found themselves sourcing candidates, taking calls, and helping founders build their teams. As demand grew, they got a firsthand look at what was broken about recruiting.
Resumes capture a fraction of who someone is. Job descriptions capture a fraction of what a company actually needs. And the systems behind recruiting weren’t built to understand the context, potential, preferences, and experiences that determine whether someone will actually thrive in a role.
That realization led to Nodi. As Daniel and Mario began turning what they had learned into technology, they went back to the community they knew best. Sergio, Fabian, and Julian, mc² cohort founders from Bogotá, Colombia, joined them as founding team members. Together, they set out to build the infrastructure that will power hiring in the AI era.
Today, we’re building that infrastructure from both sides. For companies, we’re building an AI-native, end-to-end recruiting system that multiplies a talent team’s hiring capacity. From sourcing and evaluation to screening and pipeline management, the entire recruiting process takes place on Nodi.
For candidates, we’re building an AI career agent that understands who they are, what they want, and where they can thrive, then helps them find and land their next opportunity.
Over time, these systems can capture new kinds of data about candidates, companies, roles, and outcomes, and understand that data in ways traditional recruiting systems can’t. That gives us the foundation to move beyond surface-level matching and make true fit something that can actually be understood and acted on.
We believe the future of hiring isn’t better keyword matching or more tools layered onto the same process. It’s infrastructure that deeply understands both sides of the market and gets better at bringing the right people and opportunities together. That’s what we’re building at Nodi.
