FirstRound AI is an AI-powered hiring, interviewing, and workforce development platform designed to modernize how companies evaluate talent and how candidates prepare for career opportunities.
Founded in April 2026, FirstRound AI combines conversational AI, voice technology, video simulations, automated assessments, and intelligent hiring workflows into one platform.
The platform serves two primary audiences:
Businesses: Can create job openings, conduct AI-powered interviews, evaluate candidates using structured scoring, manage hiring workflows, and reduce the time and cost associated with traditional recruiting.
Job seekers: Can practice realistic interviews, receive personalized feedback, build resumes, explore career opportunities, and develop professional skills through interactive AI simulations.
The $5,000 in funding would be dedicated entirely to securing one year of private office space for FirstRound AI, providing a professional environment where we can develop our platform, coordinate and delegate responsibilities, meet with prospective clients, and build relationships within our local business community.
Having a dedicated workspace would allow us to establish a stronger physical presence in the Hampton Roads region, host demonstrations of our AI-powered hiring technology, collaborate with local entrepreneurs and employers, and create opportunities for networking and strategic partnerships.
At an estimated cost of $5,000 annually, this investment would provide the foundation for expanding our operations, strengthening community engagement, and positioning FirstRound AI for long-term growth.
Investor Interest: FirstRound AI is actively seeking connections with private investors, angel investors, and early-stage funding partners interested in supporting a pre-revenue technology startup in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. Anyone interested in learning more about our platform, growth strategy, or potential investment opportunities is encouraged to reach out directly at andrew@hirefirstround.com.🚀

Congrats on the launch. Curious how you handle candidates who use AI in the assessment itself. Do you score the process or just the output? That feels like the hardest product call in this space.

How we would handle this is by using particular models for our video processor which can identify eye focus down to a percentage and if we notice a user is not focused or if the user has attempted to use prompt injects, we will identity those injections and fail the resume scan....
