World Talents wants your expertise to travel
A Portuguese consultancy connects international entrepreneurs with university labs, startup mentors and research opportunities. Its wager: the most useful thing crossing a border may be what somebody knows.
Gloat
Gloat is an enterprise HR-technology company that pioneered the internal talent marketplace: an AI platform that maps a company's people by their skills rather than their job titles, then matches them to internal roles, projects, gigs and mentorships. Founded in 2015 in Tel Aviv (originally as Workey) by Ben Reuveni, Amichai Schreiber and Danny Shteinberg, Gloat now runs on a proprietary Workforce Graph and has expanded into skills intelligence and agentic HR tools used by global enterprises such as Mastercard, Unilever, Novartis, Spotify and HSBC. It has raised roughly $190 million, including a $90M Series D led by Generation Investment Management.
Paul Bennett
Paul Bennett is the co-founder and CEO of PerchPeek, a London-based, AI-powered relocation platform that helps companies move employees across borders. He started his first venture at 17 selling hand sanitiser outside supermarkets, studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford, then spent three years at Amazon launching its Treasure Trucks in the UK before founding PerchPeek in 2018. What began as a 'Tinder for renting' property app pivoted during the 2020 pandemic into an end-to-end relocation service now operating in 150-plus countries, backed by roughly $17-18m in funding.
