A London-based AI-powered startup founded by former Uber and Palantir figures has raised £25m as it looks to further develop its suite of AI agents.
Metaview has raised the funding in a round led by Google Ventures, with participation from existing investors and the company already includes brands like Sony, ElevenLabs and Deliveroo as customers.
Founded by ex-product and engineering leaders Siadhal Magos and Shahriar Tajbakhsh, the business looks to help hiring teams work from high-quality insight.
It aims to make interviews a company’s most valuable asset, with its AI tools capturing, analysing and leveraging data, ensuring everyone operates from the same real-time information.
“At Uber and Palantir, Shahriar and I saw the problem up close,” said Magos.
“Even with plenty of tools and systems, recruiting was still one of the most manual and data-starved parts of the business.
“Hiring was a big priority, but it always took months at a time. Key information was scattered. Feedback was unclear. And decisions were based on gut instinct more than anything else.
“That led to painful processes and inconsistent choices. Patterns were hard to see. And important hiring loops often fell apart because no one had the full picture.
“Ask ten people what makes a “great hire,” and you’ll get ten different answers. The problem isn’t judgment — it’s lack of data.
“The most valuable insights in hiring come from interviews, intake calls, and debriefs. But until recently, that information was hidden, slowing down decisions right when speed matters most.”

The company, which now has backing from ‘some of the best in the business’, has over 3,000 customers, more than 3 million conversations captured and now $50m.
It will now look to build the go-to platform for companies going all-in on AI-first hiring strategies.
The company is also set to expand its product surface area and provide a better experience for its customers.
Magos added: “To our customers, investors, and team: thank you. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but more excited about what’s ahead.
“If you’re hiring, there’s never been a better time to see what AI can really do. Try Metaview for free. It honestly takes minutes to get started.
“The future of hiring won’t build itself. Let’s get to work.”
