CoderPad
CoderPad is a San Francisco-based technical interview and assessment platform that lets engineering teams evaluate developers in a real, runnable coding environment instead of on a whiteboard. Founded in 2013 by ex-Google and Amazon engineer Vincent Woo, it pairs live collaborative interviews with asynchronous take-home screens across 40+ programming languages, and has hosted millions of technical interviews for thousands of companies. In 2021 it acquired CodinGame to add candidate assessments and a developer skill-building community.
Natalia Panowicz
Natalia Panowicz is the CEO and co-founder of Codility, a technical assessment platform used by enterprise engineering teams to evaluate developers. Trained as a psychologist, she joined Codility in 2012 as a business developer, became COO in 2014, and stepped into the CEO seat in July 2019. She has helped grow the company past 140 employees across Warsaw, London, Berlin and San Francisco, and led the raise of a $22M Series A in 2020.
talent.io
talent.io was a European recruitment marketplace that flipped traditional headhunting: pre-screened software engineers and tech freelancers were surfaced to companies, who then applied to candidates. Founded in Paris in 2015 by Amit Aharoni, Jonathan Azoulay and Nicolas Meunier, it scaled to ten European cities and 2,000+ employer clients before being acquired by Davidson Consulting out of judicial reorganization in March 2025.
