54. Toma (YC W24) Is Hiring Founding Engineers
We're building the AI platform for underserved industries. LLM usage has seen a meteoric rise in the past year, but there is still a significant gap between agentic innovation and its use in the real world. This is especially true for underserved industries like automotive and healthcare, where outdated systems persist due to barriers to entry, legacy software, and high-stakes consequences of hallucinations and failure. Here at Toma (YC W24) (https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/toma), we are bridging this gap by providing a customer-centric platform to deploy and monitor AI agents, even for non-technical users. We recently raised a $17M Series A (http://techcrunch.com/2025/06/05/tomas-ai-voice-agents-have-taken-off-at-car-dealerships-and-attracted-funding-from-a16z) from a16z (https://a16z.com/announcement/investing-in-toma/) and are building the future of human-AI interactions, starting in the automotive industry.
