- Expert coaching on product and fundraising
- A prototyping grant that helped us:
-
- Travel to meet customers
- Hire freelancers
- Upgrade our AI infrastructure
- Scale and refine our AI model
What We Achieved
With TMA’s support, we:
- Scaled our AI to handle 100,000+ CVs
- Boosted accuracy in identifying top candidates
- Prepared to apply for EXIST funding
Demo Day was an amazing chance to share our story and get feedback from mentors, founders, and investors.
Our next step
We are commit to our vision of secure AI agents for recruiting world. We will:
- Deepen CRM integrations
- Enhance AI industry tagging
- Move forward with the EXIST application
We're grateful to be part of this inspiring community of migrant-led startups and excited for what’s ahead.
Big thanks to the The Migrant Accelerator team that have supported Loka AI.
