Company Performance Metrics
- Michael Wenning: CEOPast Role: Signature Consultants, Resource Manager
- Sophia Eng: Head of Growth & Brand
Seventy percent of professionals are open to a better opportunity. None of the existing platforms were built for them — they were built for employers, for recruiters, and for the desperate ten percent who are actively searching.
Passive is the AI-native career discovery platform for the employed majority. Algorithmic role feed. Integrated company
research. AI resume tailoring per role, per ATS. Private by default. No search behavior required.
Beta begins this month. Seventeen thousand professionals are already waiting — acquired at $0.61 each through a single channel before we shipped a product.
LinkedIn and Indeed aren't late to this. They're structurally prevented from building it. Candidate-first AI directly cannibalizes the recruiter revenue that funds both companies. That's not a gap they haven't filled. It's a structural impossibility.
We're closing a pre-seed round on a $6M SAFE cap, targeting 10,000 active users as our seed positioning milestone.
The end state is a Career OS — a permanent intelligence layer that optimizes career trajectory from first job to peak. Discovery is the foundation.
