AI Hiring Platform — Defining the Future of Work
The consensus on Mercor: Choose Mercor if you want to build the infrastructure layer for AI-era hiring at a $10B rocketship — but be ready for 9/9/6 intensity.
Founded in 2023 by three high school friends from Bellarmine College Prep — Brendan Foody, Adarsh Hiremath, and Surya Midha — who dropped out of Harvard and Georgetown to build an AI-native hiring platform that matches talent with companies using proprietary AI models. The company scaled to a $1B+ revenue run rate with a remarkably small core team, earning a $10B valuation by late 2025. The culture is unapologetically intense: long hours, fast shipping, and a belief that the AI labor market is a once-in-a-generation opportunity worth sprinting toward.
