Data-labeling startup Scale AI has acquired the team behind Pesto AI, a remote developer recruiting platform.
Pesto AI, founded by Ayush Jaiswal and Swiggy's co-founder Rahul Jaimini in 2017, has raised over $8 million in funding but will be shutting down its operations.
Ayush Jaiswal, now head of growth at Scale, expressed excitement about joining Scale AI in a blog post and mentioned their focus on leveraging AI to create meaningful opportunities globally.
Scale AI's acquisition of Pesto AI indicates a strategic move into the developer recruitment space, but Scale AI has not provided comments on the acquisition.
