TTC Closes New Funding Round of Tens of Millions of Dollars, Using Agent to Drive Intelligent Upgrade Across Full Recruitment Chain | Unity Ventures Portfolio News
Reimagining top-tier executive search expertise as a native AI Agent
Recently, Unity Ventures portfolio company TTC announced the completion of a Series A funding round in the tens of millions of dollars. Led by HouXue Capital with strategic investment from Baidu, the proceeds will primarily strengthen AI large model and Agent technology R&D, continue upgrading the Xiaomai Recruitment product experience, and deepen the build-out of specialized talent service teams in AI and hard tech sectors.
TTC's self-developed AI Agent product Xiaomai Recruitment previously won first prize in the third Baidu "Wenxin Cup" Entrepreneurship Competition. This funding round marks its formal entry into a new phase of integration within the Baidu ecosystem.
Through this strategic investment and opening of ecosystem resources, Baidu hopes to join hands with TTC to accelerate the deep penetration of AI-native capabilities in human resources, jointly transforming "intelligence dividends" into "talent dividends" that support the growth of countless enterprises, and ultimately into "social dividends."
Since its founding, TTC has focused on AI and frontier technology sectors, centering on an "AI + headhunting" model to provide critical talent solutions for enterprises, dedicated to efficiently connecting talent with opportunities through technology (AI).
Its core team combines headhunting DNA with AI technical vision: TTC founder and CEO Max Xiao brings 17 years of high-end executive search experience and previously helped build a leading domestic mid-to-senior-level headhunting brand; co-founder and CTO Liaoyuan Ning has technical backgrounds at Microsoft (United States) and ByteDance, with long-term expertise in AI architecture and model deployment, providing sustained support for the company's AI capabilities and productization.
2025 is regarded as TTC's "Year of AI." Its flagship product Xiaomai Recruitment decodes top headhunters' judgment logic and industry knowledge into structured models, empowering AI Agents to achieve intelligent upgrades across the full job search and recruitment chain, making "everyone having a professional AI headhunting advisor" a possibility.
Xiaomai Recruitment doesn't simply use AI as a tool — it reconstructs top headhunters' professional service capabilities into a native AI Agent, transforming efficient, precise talent matching from a "premium service" into a widely accessible intelligent foundation. Just four months after launch, the product has received multiple industry awards including Baidu's "Wenxin Cup," QbitAI's "AI 100 Innovative Products," and Beijing's "Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition."
With AI capabilities fully deployed across operations, TTC has cumulatively served over 1,000 AI sector tech companies and major internet firms in 2025, recommended positions tens of thousands of times, and achieved year-over-year revenue growth exceeding 50%, demonstrating strong business momentum.
Going forward, TTC will continue upholding its mission of "efficiently connecting talent with opportunities through technology (AI)," deepening the integration of AI technology with talent services, making every talent connection smarter, more precise, and more trustworthy.
