TTC completed a new round of financing worth tens of millions of dollars, led by Houxue Capital and strategically invested by Baidu.
Recently, Beijing True Talents Connect Information Technology Co., Ltd. (True Talents Connect, hereinafter referred to as "TTC") announced the completion of a Series A financing of tens of millions of US dollars. This round of financing was led by Houxue Capital, with a strategic investment from Baidu. Previously, TTC's self-developed AI Agent product, "Xiaomai Recruitment", won the first prize in the 3rd Baidu "Wenxin Cup" Entrepreneurship Competition. This financing marks its official entry into a new stage of integrating into the Baidu ecosystem.
This round of financing will mainly be used to strengthen the research and development of large AI models and Agent technology, continuously upgrade the product experience of "Xiaomai Recruitment", and deepen the construction of a professional talent service team in the AI and hard technology tracks.
Since its establishment, TTC has focused on the AI and cutting-edge technology tracks. Based on the "AI + headhunting" model, it provides key talent solutions for enterprises and is committed to efficiently connecting talents with opportunities through technology (AI).
Its core team combines headhunting expertise with an AI technology vision: Max, the founder and CEO of TTC, has 17 years of experience in the high-end headhunting industry and has participated in building a leading domestic mid - to high - end headhunting brand; Ning Liaoyuan, the co - founder and CTO, has a technical background from Microsoft (USA) and ByteDance, and has long been deeply involved in the implementation of AI architectures and models, providing continuous support for the company's AI capabilities and productization.
The year 2025 is regarded as the AI First Year of TTC. It launched its core product, "Xiaomai Recruitment", which decodes the judgment logic and industry knowledge of top headhunters into a structured model to empower the AI Agent, achieving an intelligent upgrade of the entire job - hunting and recruitment process and making it possible for "everyone to have a professional AI headhunting consultant". Just four months after the product was launched, it has won several industry awards, including the Baidu "Wenxin Cup", QbitAI's "AI 100 Innovative Product", and the "Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition" of Beijing Entrepreneurship.
With the full implementation of AI capabilities in its business, in 2025, TTC served more than a thousand technology enterprises in the AI field and leading large companies in total, made tens of thousands of job referrals, and its annual revenue increased by more than 50% year - on - year, showing strong business growth momentum.
Roger Hou Haoxiang, the founding partner of Houxue Capital: " Our investment in TTC stems from a core judgment: in the AI era, talent is the ultimate infrastructure. What TTC does is to help enterprises scientifically combine and transfer key talents. Through precise allocation and collaborative design, different capabilities can resonate at the right time, generating a creativity of '1 + 1 > 11'. What impressed us more is the team's profound understanding of 'inspiring people' - they clearly recognize that top - notch talent service is a combination of professional skills and the art of judgment, and it is about being a 'catalyst' to ignite the potential of talents. Meanwhile, Max and the team have top - notch industry experience, but they always maintain the humility and original intention of entrepreneurs, which makes us believe that they can go further. For Houxue, this is also an important strategic collaboration. As an institution with an entrepreneurial mindset, we are optimistic about TTC's dual - track model of 'AI - empowered consultants' and 'direct platform connection'. This is not only an innovation to the pain points of traditional recruitment but also provides a new entry point for us to jointly penetrate into the core group of the AI industry and continuously accumulate knowledge and resources. We look forward to walking with such long - term thinkers and jointly witnessing the transformation of AI talent service from a 'high - end configuration' to the 'cornerstone of enterprises in the AI era'."
Baidu: "We always believe that only when AI is internalized as a native ability can it truly detonate a productivity revolution in all industries. TTC is an excellent practitioner of this concept in the human resources industry.
As the first - prize project in the 3rd Baidu "Wenxin Cup" Entrepreneurship Competition, "Xiaomai Recruitment" does not simply use AI as a tool. Instead, it reconstructs the professional service capabilities of top headhunters into a native AI Agent, which turns efficient and precise talent matching from a 'high - end service' into a widely accessible intelligent foundation.
Baidu's strategic investment and opening of ecological resources this time are precisely to cooperate with TTC to accelerate the in - depth penetration of native AI capabilities in the human resources field, jointly transform the 'intelligent dividend' into the 'talent dividend' to support the development of thousands of enterprises, and further into the'social dividend'."
In the future, TTC will continue to adhere to the mission of "efficiently connecting talents with opportunities through technology (AI)", deepen the integration of AI technology and talent services, and make every talent connection more intelligent, precise, and trustworthy.
