Backed by names like Peter Thiel and Jack Dorsey, Mercor has gone from $1 to $500 million in revenue run rate in just 17 months — a staggering pace that reflects how quickly AI is changing the labor landscape. Foody will share how his team is using AI to match companies with elite technical talent, what it takes to build a truly distributed hiring model, and why upskilling is becoming mission-critical in today’s global economy.
