## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2021 by Kaushik Narasimhan and Yaniv Shimoni, MyTake2 Inc., trading under the name Take2 AI, operates as a software company that focuses on developing an artificial intelligence job simulation platform for sales recruiting. In April 2024, MyTake2 Inc. raised USD 3 million in seed funding, co-led by Reach Capital and SemperVirens Venture Capital, with participation from Techstars Ventures. In February 2026, Take2 AI raised USD 14 million in series A funding led by Human Capital, with participation from Bertelsmann Investments, Honeystone Ventures, Reach Capital and SemperVirens.

The company provides an AI-powered job simulation platform that helps enterprises generate simulations of real-world sales scenarios that help get job applicants based on skills, behavioral attributes, and culture fit. The platform allows enterprises to validate on-the-job skills, reduce mis-hires, and improve retention.

Take2 AI plans to use its proceeds from February 2026 funding to expand its autonomous artificial intelligence agents beyond interviews to cover sourcing, screening, credential checks, scheduling, and onboarding for healthcare hiring.
