Maki, a NYC-based conversational AI agent company for talent acquisition, raised $28.6M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Blossom Capital, with participation from DST Global and existing investors Frst, GFC, and Picus Capital.
The company intends to use the funds to:
- Accelerate its product roadmap by driving screening, interviewing, scheduling, and sourcing innovations.
- Fuel its commercial expansion in the U.S.
- Expand its team in 2025, hiring 50-60 new employees across engineering, product, commercial, success, and onboarding teams to support its ambitious roadmap and global expansion.
Founded in 2022 by Maxime Legardez, Paul-Louis Caylar, and Benjamin Chino, Maki is building a conversational AI agent that enables HR teams, advances organizations, and expands human potential. From sourcing and screening to interviewing and selection, its agents handle the entire journey autonomously and at scale.
Candidates experience fully immersive, AI-led interactions—through voice, video, or text—that adapt to their unique profiles. Organizations can customize every workflow to align with their goals, ensuring consistent, compliant, and bias-free hiring across industries and geographies.
