"Traditional recruitment is often unsuccessful and, so far, AI hasn’t helped much. We’re currently seeing an AI ‘arms race’ to the bottom, with companies being flooded by AI-generated applications, while individuals are often subjected to inhumane – and unethical – screening. Dex offers an alternative. We’re excited about this seed funding, which will drive our ambition of redefining how talent and opportunity connect."

"As more and more models launch, devs can have tens or even hundreds of endpoints to integrate with and maintain. Runware solves this problem by delivering access to all the models, at the best price, with the best inference time. We see model providers now moving to our platform and offering their APIs from our inference pod, because we can deliver 90% lower inference cost than any cloud provider."
— Flaviu Radulescu, Founder
