How do you reinvent hiring when AI can vet every candidate in minutes?
Join us in San Francisco for an invite-only taping of First Block, Notion's founder-led series on building breakout companies from day one.
For our next episode, we're sitting down with Brendan Foody, Co-founder & CEO of Mercor - the AI-powered talent marketplace that's leapt from dorm-room idea to a $2 billion valuation in just two years. Backed by Felicis, Benchmark, & Jack Dorsey, Mercor matches thousands of specialists with the world's fastest-growing AI labs.
Brendan will share:
The single product decision that unlocked a $100 million Series B round.
Why evaluation as work could redefine knowledge jobs.
How a 30-person core team runs a global labor marketplace at scale.
The tool stack that keeps Mercor shipping day after day.
Moderator: Katy Shields, Chief People Officer, Notion
