Founding Recruiter

Who We Are

Sola was founded in 2023 by Jessica Wu and Neil Deshmukh, who were previously at MIT and have experienced firsthand the RPA pain point within their previous experiences in finance and healthcare (prev. at IBM-Watson, MGH, BWH, Citadel Securities, Goldentree AM), and have extensive research experience in relevant areas (published in NeurIps/IEEE for research on multimodal models, computer vision, and robotics). We’ve raised 20M+ in funding to date (most recently a Series A from a Tier-1 VC and Conviction), with additional backing from Y Combinator (S23 batch) and the founders and CEOs of Dropbox, Zoom, Zapier, Scale, and more.
