What Brix does

Brix is an AI-native recruiting and global employment platform that combines multi-agent AI technology with human operations to deliver full-cycle talent acquisition and compliant cross-border employment. The company's core platform deploys autonomous AI agents for sourcing, outreach, interview coordination, and team management, searching across 960M+ verified profiles in 200+ countries. Brix serves primarily AI and technology companies, from pre-IPO startups to growth-stage firms, with named customers including Luma AI, Instacart, DJI, MongoDB, Pika, Fireworks AI, Agora, Red Bull, Newfront, Final Round AI, UBIX.AI, and Nyquist Data Inc. The company reports 500+ customers across 120+ countries.

The employment services stack offers Employer of Record coverage in 120+ countries from $199/employee/month, contractor management at $99/contractor/month, remote engineering team hiring at a flat 20% service markup, and fully managed payroll and HR services.

Brix operates a hybrid sales-led and product-led go-to-market, with demo booking as the primary conversion mechanism and an affiliate referral program paying an average of $10,000 per signed client. The company originated from a 200,000+ member engineering community — the largest on Lark/Feishu for cross-border remote work — which functions as both a top-of-funnel demand generation engine and a pre-qualified talent supply. The company is legally domiciled as Worldforce, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), headquartered in Irvine, California (3345 Michelson Dr, Suite 200), with on-the-ground operations in Shenzhen, China. The company has raised approximately $14 million across three rounds (Plug and Play 2022, Frees Fund/Mento VC 2024, HF0/NVIDIA Inception 2026), is incubated by HF0, and is a member of the NVIDIA Inception Program.
