We’re thrilled to announce our $5.1M seed funding round from Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Morado Ventures, Amino Capital, Alumni Ventures, and a notable group of angels.

We’ve 10x’d revenue in the past few months and are proud to be accelerating growth at companies of all sizes, from seed stage startups to publicly traded enterprises.

Our seed capital will enable us to realize our vision of building the world’s first end-to-end recruiting and HR platform.

Whole > Sum of its Parts

Our Thesis: Team building and management is too fragmented.

Finding great talent is hard. So is paying and managing talent globally in a compliant manner. Teams use recruiters with varying levels of success – then spend countless hours setting up various HR, benefits, and compliance platforms.

Bolto consolidates AI-enabled recruiting, payroll, and a full suite of HR services all under one roof. Consolidation enables us to offer significantly lower prices than our industry peers and save founders countless hours they would’ve spent on managing multiple solutions.

Bolto Talent

The Bolto platform assesses candidates holistically. We use AI to scan resumes, LinkedIn accounts, Github contributions, and other online portfolios. Bolto then generates an AI behavioral interview and administers additional assessments based on the client’s request. Companies search our talent pool and review interviews and test results to hire their ideal candidates.

Bolto Payroll + HR

Bolto also offers payroll and a full suite of HR services globally. Companies can compliantly pay and manage teams with robust customer support. Issuing ESOPs, filing reports, and paying contractors along with employees is now done in one place.

What’s next

We’re swinging big. Over the next year we are doubling down on developing our AI recruiting and candidate matching models while expanding our footprint in global HR. Bolto will allow teams to plan, run, and execute complete recruiting and HR workflows in both the US, and other countries globally.

Thank you to our early customers for taking a chance on a fresh startup and thank you to our investors for believing in us.

This year is going to be our biggest yet.
