Helio AI Raises $1M for AI Recruiting Agent

In November 2025, US-based Helio AI raised $1 million in a Seed funding round. The round was led by SABAH.fund, with participation from DOMiNO Ventures, Tetrad VC, Axiom, and angel investor Bas Godska.

Founded by CEO Iako Jikia, Nini Mosiashvili, Natia Kukhilava, and Sulkhan Sakhvadze, Helio AI is building an AI-powered recruiting platform tailored for high-volume and frontline hiring.

The company’s platform features a multilingual “AI Recruiting Agent” combined with game-based psychometric assessments. It automates screening, ranks candidates instantly, and allows applicants to interact in their local language, streamlining the hiring process for large enterprises.

The new capital will be used to scale the AI agent globally, expand product capabilities, and accelerate growth in fast-developing markets where high-volume hiring is a critical bottleneck.
