Intch's AI Platform Shakes Up SMB Hiring with $1.2 Million Pre-Seed Boost
Intch, a former professional networking company, has pivoted its business model to streamline the hiring process for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) seeking part-time specialists. Powered by AI algorithms, Intch's platform aims to connect SMBs with suitable professionals quickly, slashing recruitment costs for mid-term projects. With an impressive network of over 500,000 professionals in more than 140 countries, Intch recently secured a $1.2 million pre-seed funding round led by Altair Capital, with support from Deel. Although the platform is innovative, it has faced criticism for user dissatisfaction and functionality issues, making its future success contingent on addressing these challenges. The public response has been mixed, highlighting both potential and pitfalls of AI in recruitment.
