Killing LinkedIn with Agents, from the founding team of HootSuite. $2.5M contracted rev

Cedar is building the AI-native professional network. Recruiting is the wedge. The best talent doesn't apply. It gets referred. But referrals break as companies scale. Not from culture, but from math. Companies like Stripe threw 100 people and $10M a year at this problem. Cedar scales this with agents. Every 15-minute call maps an employee's trusted professional relationships, surfaces high-signal candidates, and deepens a graph no one else is building. Every customer makes it smarter. Traction: Closed $3M in revenue while in stealth. Team: Greg Gunn and Beier Cai built Hootsuite from 5 to 1,500 people and zero to $100M ARR in under four years. Referrals were their best channel. They collapsed at exactly the moment they needed them most. Advisors: Laszlo Bock (Google), Tiffany Fenster (Stripe), Brendan Browne (Replit).
