Software discovery is broken. Tech buyers are bombarded with cold sales outreach from established vendors, leaving startups with truly innovative solutions struggling to gain the market awareness they deserve. At Sagetap, we believe buyers need to be in the driver's seat, where they aren't being sold to unless they want to be sold to. We also believe that a startup's success should be driven by the actual product-market-fit of their solution, and not by their marketing budgets. As a team, we are dedicated to building the first online platform that helps promising technology solutions get the recognition they deserve. We are proud to have the support of some of the best advisors and investors in the world, including NFX Ventures, Uncorrelated Ventures, and Emergent Ventures, who have helped create some of the products that you may already be using. If you're excited about revolutionizing the tech industry and want to join a team that shares your passion, we'd love to hear from you.

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.

Our company has recognized that today’s consumer is evolving at a speed that is difficult to keep pace with. Leverage our technology platform and exclusive access to mobile intelligence, and create new paths to understand, identify, engage and acquire consumers.
