Our Southeast Asia team have advised Singapore-based startup impress.ai on its recent pre-series A round. The round was led by Summit 29K with Seeds Capital, the investment arm of Enterprise Singapore, also participating.

impress.ai was founded in 2017 by Sudhanshu Ahuja, Vaisagh Viswanathan and Amrith Dhananjayan. The startup has developed an AI chatbot for recruiters and hiring managers that allows those users to interview, engage, and shortlist candidates and help them at every stage of the talent acquisition process. The product is already being used enterprise clients such as Accenture, DBS, and Singtel.

The latest round of funding will be used to accelerate product development, accelerate hiring, and expand to Australia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
