"Nearly every business problem at a young company could be traced to a hiring decision. It was either not having the right people in the role or having the wrong people."
"Dex has so far focused on a single, lucrative slice of the recruitment market: AI researchers, software developers, and machine-learning and quantitative engineers."
"The startup bills itself as an 'AI talent agent.' Job seekers first hold a conversation with Dex's AI agent by either voice or text."
"Since beginning to charge for the product in late 2025, Dex has gone from zero to a roughly $1.8 million annualized revenue run rate."
Paddy Lambros observed that hiring decisions were central to the challenges faced by startups during his time at Atomico. This insight led to the founding of Dex, an AI-driven recruiting startup that has raised $5.3 million in seed funding. Dex focuses on recruiting AI researchers and software developers, with over 15,000 engineers registered and 50 companies using its services. The platform acts as an AI talent agent, assisting job seekers in various aspects of the job search process, and has achieved a $1.8 million annualized revenue run rate.
