Seso is the first end-to-end recruiting and workforce management platform for the agriculture industry. Our mission is to provide agricultural workers with meaningful, safe employment opportunities; provide security for the most critical aspects of America’s food production system; and reduce admin costs to employers through software. We are addressing American farmers’ biggest pain point - access to qualified labor - through a software-enabled labor solution that automates the H-2A visa, an uncapped visa for seasonal farmworkers. Today, Seso enables farms to digitally track applicants and onboard workers, streamlines the H-2A application process, ensures workers arrive at the farm on-time, and simplifies compliance. Long term, the Company is creating a comprehensive HR platform that helps agribusiness seamlessly integrate their efforts across recruitment, onboarding, payroll, and insurance while providing workers access to financial services for the first time. Similar to how Salesforce has tied together business systems around a common customer identity, Seso is solidifying all of a farm’s worker-facing systems around a common employee identity, making it the centerpiece of a unified schema that spans a farm’s back-office.

Ando is building AI-native workforce infrastructure for shift-based work, starting with highly accurate AI-generated demand forecasting and autonomous labor allocation. Labor is one of the largest and least modernized systems in the economy. Most workforce tools are static, rules-based, and UI-driven. They create schedules, but they do not understand demand, uncertainty, or real-world tradeoffs. The result is wasted labor, constant manual intervention, and unstable hours for workers. This is not a scheduling UI problem. It is a systems problem: forecasting under uncertainty, constrained optimization, feedback loops, and learning from noisy production data. Models must operate in the wild, adapt continuously, and balance business, worker, and operational constraints. Our core intelligence layer combines demand modeling, optimization, and human-in-the-loop signals to improve allocation decisions over time, compounding into a persistent labor graph across skills, availability, reliability, and performance.

Promethist is a deep-tech company building the next generation of enterprise conversational AI. We combine conversational AI with psychological and behavioral expertise to create Relational agents that enterprises deploy in production, at scale, to enhance performance, and engagement across customer service, HR, employee care, education, and beyond. Our technology is live inside large enterprises, including a leading European bank scaling a deployment from hundreds to thousands of seats. We care about human-centric design, real outcomes, and being a voice worth listening to in the AI conversation, not another vendor adding to the hype.
