Torre.ai is automating recruitment and job hunting with super-intelligent AI, and building THE global job network. Join the founder, a Shark on Shark Tank, who has invested $11M of his own money, and 50+ strategic investors.
Soon, you’ll be able to invest in Torre from as little as $500.
Be first to know when the round opens, with potential early‑bird terms.
$500 is the anticipated minimum. Final terms will be set in the Form C filed with the SEC. Torre Labs Reg CF SPV, LLC is “testing the waters” under Regulation Crowdfunding. No money or other consideration is being solicited, and if sent, it will not be accepted. No offer to buy the securities can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received until the offering statement (Form C) is filed with the SEC and only through the platform of an intermediary (DealMaker Securities LLC). A person’s indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.
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.
A market that has already produced many $1B+ businesses, and it’s still fragmented across 4,000+ job boards and 72,000 staffing companies.

Recruitment hasn’t kept up with the way the world actually works. Four problems compound each other:
Job hunting is stressful. 72% of job seekers reported negative impacts on their mental health.1
Human recruiters fulfill 1.6 billion vacancies per year. 90% report trouble recruiting.2
Traditional recruitment is no match for the new full-time + flexible workforce. 37% of adults make most of their money from gigs (55% of millennials).3
The result is AIs spamming AIs. Recruiters use AI to spam and filter; candidates use AI to mass-apply. Millions of chickens 🐔 with their heads cut off: inefficiency, waste, and exclusion.

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.
Indeed and LinkedIn Jobs 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.
Growth is driven by retention and word of mouth: native virality, network effects, reputation loops, and data loops are kicking in.
Our own costs are trending down to $0. Company acquisition cost per user has fallen from $325 to nearly zero since 2024, 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.
A real-time feed of the matches, applications, and connections happening on the network as you read this.
Torre grows from remote to local, and will expand from West to East.
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.
Free for companies. Free for candidates. Paid superpowers for both: a model that doesn’t slow down network effects.
We anticipate strong revenue growth; however, projections are subject to network growth, economic factors, and market competition, and actual outcomes will likely differ.

Quite easy, intuitive, and enjoyable.
You treat people with care. It feels personalized.
Other platforms just send me resumes, but Torre does the work for me.
Effective candidate follow up that we simply can’t do.

Dear prospective investor,
Before you read any further, I want to be direct with you about the most important thing: the outcome of your investment in Torre is likely to be binary. You will either make significant returns or you will lose your money 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. That is why we are opening this round to our community.
You are not just investing money. You are investing in a future where work is more meaningful, where discrimination is fought at scale, and where artificial intelligence serves humanity.
You should only invest an amount that you can afford to lose entirely, and only if you believe in this mission. Even if Torre does not succeed as a business, we will have helped shape the future of work, and that impact alone should be a return that makes you proud of the choice you made. And if, in addition to that, we succeed as a business, then you will have been an investor from the beginning.
Come build the future with us.

Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise; you are making an investment in a company and helping it grow. In our anticipated offering, that investment would be a SAFE — a right to future equity if it converts — rather than stock you own today (see “What security will I receive?” below).
Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. If you are not an accredited investor, federal rules cap how much you can invest across all Regulation Crowdfunding offerings combined during any 12-month period: if either your annual income or your net worth is less than $124,000, you can invest up to the greater of $2,500 or 5% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. If both your annual income and your net worth are $124,000 or more, you can invest up to 10% of the greater of the two, up to a maximum of $124,000. You may calculate your income and net worth jointly with your spouse.
To calculate your net worth, add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities, excluding the value of your primary residence and the mortgage on it up to the home’s value (any mortgage debt above the home’s value counts as a liability). The resulting sum is your net worth.
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
Any individual 18 or older can invest — you do not need to be accredited — and entities such as trusts, LLCs, and corporations can invest as well. Non-accredited investors are subject to the investment limits described above.
There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your investment could lose all of its value. The SAFEs we anticipate offering carry no voting rights, and even after conversion your voting power would be limited and diluted over time. You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.
The securities we anticipate offering (SAFEs) of Torre Labs Reg CF SPV, LLC (the “Company”) would not be publicly-traded. As a result, the securities cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or, once your SAFE has converted into shares, you can sell those shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.
Securities purchased in a Regulation Crowdfunding offering (including the SAFEs we anticipate offering) generally cannot be resold or transferred for one year. The exceptions are transfers:
(i) to the Company;
(ii) to an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act;
(iii) as part of an offering registered under the Securities Act with the SEC; or
(iv) to a member of the Investor’s family or the equivalent, to a trust controlled by the Investor, to a trust created for the benefit of a member of the family of the Investor or equivalent, or in connection with the death or divorce of the Investor or other similar circumstance.
In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, your securities can be transferred to: the company that issued the securities; an accredited investor; a family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships).
If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.
All available disclosure information can be found on this landing page and in the offering statement (Form C), which will be filed with the SEC and, once filed, will be available on the SEC’s EDGAR system and linked from this page.
Once the offering is live, you can cancel your investment at any time, for any reason, until 48 hours prior to a closing occurring. If you’ve already funded your investment and your funds are in escrow, your funds will be promptly refunded to you upon cancellation. To process your refund, follow the refund instructions provided in your investment confirmation.
At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on its website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end. If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.
DealMaker Securities is serving as the intermediary for this offering. Once an offering ends, there is no guarantee that DealMaker Securities will have a relationship with the company. The company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future. DealMaker Securities’ affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.
We anticipate offering a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity). A SAFE is not stock today; it converts into equity when a triggering event occurs (typically a priced financing round, an acquisition, or an IPO). The security type and all offering terms are not yet final and will be set out in the Form C filed with the SEC.
Torre has already raised $22M from over 50 investors, including $11M from the founder. But Torre is a network, and crowdfunding is a strategic move: the more people are vested in Torre’s success, the faster the network grows. It’s a flywheel.
Torre is freemium on both sides. Companies pay for Torre Reach (job-post advertising) and Torre OS (automation tools), both validated and growing, with background checks and staffing/payroll services coming. Job seekers pay for Torre Pro (priority access), with education referrals, advertising, and possibly talent-agent commissions ahead.
Right now, you can’t — we are testing the waters, and no money or other consideration is being solicited, and if sent, will not be accepted. Once the Form C is filed with the SEC and the offering opens, investments will be processed exclusively through the platform of our intermediary, DealMaker Securities LLC, which we’ll link from this page. Join the waitlist and we’ll notify you when that happens.
