Nandita Potinii — Co-Founder

I grew up in India believing that the right room changes everything. Not the fanciest room. Not the most powerful one. The right one. The one where the right people sit across from each other at exactly the right moment — and something gets built that wouldn't have existed otherwise. That belief became a career. Fifteen years. Three companies. One through line. 𝗖𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱. 𝗜𝘁 i𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀. At Egen, we built something real. A 1,000+person engineering org. Global AI platforms. Enterprise clients who trusted us with their most critical infrastructure. What the outside world saw was the scale. What we lived was the cost of building it. Hiring nearly broke us. Not because we were careless. Because the system was broken. Every search took months. Our best engineers disappeared into interview loops. Every bad hire cost us not just money — it cost us momentum. We had advantages most founders never get. Brand. Networks. Resources. The founder scaling from 10 to 50 engineers right now has none of that. They are making the most consequential hiring decisions of their company's life with a spreadsheet and an HR generalist who has never evaluated a distributed systems engineer. That is the problem I couldn't stop thinking about after Egen. 𝟭𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗘𝗴𝗲𝗻 — 1,000+ person engineering org. Global AI platforms. World-class teams powering Chicago's category-defining unicorns. Successful exit to Recognize. 𝟮,𝟬𝟬𝟬+ 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱. 𝗖𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 is an AI-native talent platform built for one purpose: finding the engineers your company needs, in days not months. The talent infrastructure scaling companies should have had from the beginning. 1M+ pre-vetted engineers. A proprietary methodology built from 2,000 real hires. No recruiters. No endless pipelines. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Collapse the false choice between speed and quality. 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗔–𝗗 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗽𝘀 → send me a message. 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿, 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿, 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 → follow along. 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 → the network is open. The infrastructure exists. The question is whether your company uses it before your next competitor does.
