I invested in Torre because it’s an amazing tool that we actually use. We don’t have external recruiters. All we use is Torre now. Investing was a no-brainer for me.
Torre.ai is building the essential infrastructure for the future of work. They’ve created a powerful network effect that is scaling rapidly.
Torre is going after one of the biggest opportunities globally: recruitment. At the center of it is AI. Join us as we build this incredible business and transform one of the most important sectors of the economy.

Recruitment hasn’t kept up with the way the world actually works. Four problems compound each other:
of job seekers reported negative impacts on their mental health1
of recruiters report trouble recruiting2
of US adults earn money from gig work3

Not another job board. An AI talent agent that works for every professional and every company, evaluating every person for every job in real time.
Candidates chat with Emma, Torre’s AI, the same way they’d text a friend: on WhatsApp, on the web, in the app. Emma applies for them, pre-screens them, and gives every applicant actionable feedback.
Companies get a recruitment operating system that screens, ranks, follows up, and matches candidates to teams, automatically.
Traditional job boards and professional social networks are legacy products that block AI agents. Torre is AI-native: it offers APIs and MCPs for agentic automation, so the assistants people already use can hire, and get hired, through Torre.
Determining whether a candidate matches a job takes Torre about 100 milliseconds, versus minutes of back-and-forth between two negotiating AI agents.

3x tech founder with vast experience in two-sided marketplaces. Systems Engineer and Industrial Engineer turned growth hacker.
10+ years leading global tech and AI teams. B.Sc. in Computer Science and Software Engineering with multiple published papers.
Industrial Engineer. Joined Torre’s operations team as an apprentice and now leads it.
Growth is driven by retention and word of mouth: native virality, network effects, reputation loops, and data loops are kicking in.
† Average of the compounded quarter-over-quarter growth rates of the three metrics above — new companies joining, AI-screening interviews and candidate/company matches — January–August 2026: each metric’s growth over the period, expressed as the equivalent rate per quarter (seven months is 2⅓ quarters), then averaged. A candidate/company match is defined in the disclosures below.
Our own costs are trending down to $0. Company acquisition cost per user has fallen from $325 to nearly zero, and AI agent interaction cost has dropped over 80%. Margins improve as the network grows.
From solo founders to global enterprises like Publicis Groupe and Cornershop by Uber, companies use Torre to fill roles across engineering, sales, marketing, operations, and beyond.

Torre grows from remote to local, and will expand from West to East.
1M+ candidates, 2K+ companies, and a matching engine that evaluates a candidate for a job in about 100 milliseconds.
The bar: constant 10% week-over-week growth in network interactions, until word of mouth compounds on its own.
As the network grows, it’s now time to scale monetization using the strategy below.
City by city, community by community: the subtorre strategy below, run hundreds of times.
We are building for a billion professionals and 100 million hires a year.
Torre’s monetization model is freemium to avoid slowing down network effects. Free for companies and professionals, with premium offerings that give them superpowers:
This August 2026 presentation contains forward-looking statements about revenue, products marked “coming soon,” market opportunity and business plans. They can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “believe,” “will,” “may” and similar expressions, and they reflect management’s expectations and assumptions at that time. They are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those described in the Risk Factors of our Form C, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Past performance is not indicative of future results. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
Job networks for communities. Targeting hundreds of collaborations within the next year. Then, tens of thousands.
More companies bring more candidates. More candidates bring more companies. Value compounds on both sides, and Torre’s freemium model doesn’t slow it down.
Better reputation attracts better candidates and better jobs, which builds more reputation. References, reviews, and professional genomes keep compounding.
More usage creates more data. More data creates better matches. Better matches drive more usage. 100+ matching factors and 9 types of applied AI get smarter every day.
As AI changes the workforce, it helps us: as technology forces people to switch jobs and careers more often, Torre becomes the essential bridge for that transition into the human-touch economy.
Torre makes money whether the economy is good or bad, because it doesn’t rely on just one side of the market. Booming economy: companies pay. Slow economy: job seekers do.

Dear prospective investor,
If you are considering investing in Torre, I want to be direct with you: an investment in Torre is likely to have a binary outcome. It could produce significant returns or lose its value entirely. It is unlikely to be much in between.
You might reasonably assume that being a Shark on Shark Tank and having built successful companies of my own, tilts the odds in my favor. It does. A founder with that track record is more likely to build a successful startup than someone attempting it for the first time. But I want to be clear-eyed with you: Torre is not your average startup. It is far more ambitious and far harder than most, for reasons I will explain. My experience improves our chances. It does not guarantee them.
I say this not to discourage you, but because you deserve the truth. I have been an investor for many years. Some of my investments happened in the public eye through Shark Tank; many more I have made directly and indirectly, outside of that platform and away from the cameras. Across all of them, the pattern is the same: the vast majority do not return their investors’ money. Even businesses that go on to become genuinely successful rarely deliver a meaningful financial return. Only a small minority produces the kind of outsized outcomes that make this kind of investing worthwhile.
Yet despite having a diversified portfolio built over many years, I have chosen to concentrate my time, my energy, and a significant portion of my personal wealth into building Torre. Why would I abandon diversification for a single bet?
Because even though the odds of success are low, the potential outcomes, if we succeed, could be outsized in ways that matter to me far beyond financial returns.
Network effect businesses are extraordinarily difficult to launch. They require sustained investment, relentless execution, and often years of struggle before they reach critical mass. Torre operates in a market with very strong, well-resourced competitors, and it will take a great deal of capital and a great many believers to break through. Even with unlimited resources, we might not succeed. But once a network effect business does take off, it becomes very difficult to displace. The defensibility is remarkable, and the returns, if they materialize, can be transformative. I know this firsthand, because I have built two successful businesses of exactly this kind. Their financial success is what allowed me to become an investor in the first place.
What makes Torre different in scale is the size of the prize. We are not building a niche product; we are aiming to become the largest job network that has ever existed, addressing a total market of roughly $690 billion per year.3 A target that large changes the math. If we succeed, the outcome could be very large, precisely because the opportunity is so large and so defensible once won. That potential is inseparable from the risk. The same ambition that makes the upside enormous is what makes the odds long. This is a higher-risk, higher-reward proposition than most, and I want you to see both sides of it clearly. Nothing I say here is a prediction of returns; most startups fail, and you could lose everything you invest.
In Silicon Valley and around the world, I have watched tens of thousands of brilliant minds pour their talent into extracting value rather than creating value. Consider one example: they optimize which advertisement you see next on your feed, while the technology to give job applicants real feedback, rather than letting their applications vanish into a black hole, already exists but has never been built at scale. At Torre, we are using artificial intelligence not simply to replace people’s work, but to help people find work that better realizes their potential and maximizes the fulfillment they get from their careers.
This is also where my deepest personal conviction lives. Our company is named after my grandmother, María Emma Torrenegra, a brilliant and determined woman who was boxed out of the careers she deserved by the discrimination of her era. Her only options were homemaker or secretary, and I still think often about who else she might have become. She is the reason discrimination is the enemy Torre exists to defeat. Her full story is worth reading: María Emma’s story.
Discrimination in hiring is not only unjust; it is a waste of human potential on an enormous scale, and it is a problem AI is unusually well-suited to help solve. Humans are prone to subconscious bias, and roughly half of hiring managers admit to it.1 AI can be designed to avoid those instincts. At Torre, during pre-screening, our system is designed to put every professional on equal footing: name, gender, race, and age are ignored, and people are matched on merit and fit rather than on the accidents of who they are. The evidence for this approach is compelling; in a landmark study of blind orchestra auditions, the likelihood of women being advanced rose by 25 to 46 percent.2 Used this way, AI can make recruitment not only more accurate, but more human and more fair. You can read more about how we do it here: more accurate recruitment.
I am pushing hard to make Torre successful. I bring my skills, my connections, my capital, and my energy to this mission.
But a mission this large is not won alone. We already have more than a million users and many passionate fans helping us grow, along with investors who have real skin in the game. Every day, we get messages from our users thanking us for the positive impact Torre has had on their lives. Yet, the next chapter calls for even more believers: people who choose to stand with us and take this on together. Building a network effect business at a global scale requires not just capital, but conviction.
More believers, combined with excellent execution, will not guarantee our success. Nothing can. But it meaningfully improves our odds.
