Lunch & Learn with RealEngineers
Take a due diligence deep dive with the founders of RealEngineers, one of the first four exciting new startups to matriculate from the Venture Mechanics Catapult Accelerator.
These sessions are limited to a maximum of 14 participants, who must all be accredited investors in order to register.
AI-generated resumes have overwhelmed the job market, making it harder than ever to identify top engineering talent. Instead of streamlining hiring, AI has fueled a keyword-stuffing arms race, forcing engineers to apply to 70+ jobs before landing an interview, while recruiters sift through hundreds, if not thousands of candidate submissions per role.
RealEngineers.ai cuts through the noise with AI-readable, project-based portfolios that showcase engineers’ real, verifiable work—technical specs, PhD papers, CAD files, and more. Like GitHub but for all engineers (not just software), the platform empowers recruiters with AI-driven insights, helping them assess talent as if they had a master’s-level engineer co-reading resumes by their side.
Built with extensive design input from top recruiters and hiring managers, RealEngineers solves a critical gap in technical hiring—evaluating real skills beyond resumes. They are currently raising a $1M pre-seed round to scale early adoption among the nation's 5 million engineers and tech recruiters.
