About Humoniq

The company is a YC-backed startup that has raised more than $8 million and is led by repeat entrepreneurs who have built and scaled successful companies before. Its mission is to build deeply integrated AI systems that understand, reason, and act to solve real-world problems in travel and transport. It operates in the travel and transport space and focuses on AI-powered solutions, describing itself as an AI-native BPO for travel and transport. The company is remote-friendly but prefers a base in Boulder, Colorado, with the option to come to the office 2-3 days.

Culture & values

Psychological safety, work-life balance, and employee wellbeing are core cultural pillars, with a stance against overwork and a focus on sustainable productivity.

Productivity is measured by business and customer outcomes rather than hours worked.

The company supports a hybrid work model: the role is remote but there is a preference for being in Boulder, CO and coming to the office 2-3 days a week.

There is a growth path available for both individual contributors and leaders, with no pay discrimination between tracks.

Hiring is designed to be fair, predictive, and respectful of candidates' time.

Interviews are structured and use research-backed assessments to forecast job performance rather than relying on unstructured chats.

Assessments are used to level the playing field so every candidate has the same opportunity to demonstrate ability.

Candidates are evaluated on their ability to do the work, not on resume, background, accent, or personality quirks.

The interview process is designed to be completed in under eight hours, with four parts including both remote and in-person components.

Afthonea

We’re building the first autonomous insurance group, starting with Morrow, our AI-native commercial insurance brokerage. We help businesses find, compare, and buy insurance across 100+ carriers. Every placement deepens our understanding of businesses, risk, and underwriting. We’re turning that knowledge into an insurance ontology that gives our AI agents the context to reason, apply judgment, and execute insurance workflows autonomously across calls, emails, and carrier portals. Our ambition is to build the most comprehensive intelligence layer in the industry. Over time, we’ll use this foundation to develop and underwrite our own insurance products. Insurance spending represents 12% of U.S. GDP, and we want to go after all of it. We’re backed by C-suite executives at some of the world’s largest insurers, first-check investors in Rippling and Twilio, and a Cloudflare board member.
