Harvard Ventures

Mercor (@mercor) scaled from $1-500M in revenue run rate in the last 17 months, making us the fastest growing company of all time. Our growth is accelerating. We averaged 11% week over week growth in July, 18% WoW growth in August, and 19% WoW growth in September. One trend driving this meteoric growth: the Economy is Becoming an RL Environment Machine. Reinforcement learning is becoming so effective that agents can hillclimb any benchmark, but humans need to define the rewards to automate everything. While everyone fears job loss, we’re creating a new category of knowledge work faster than any other time in history. The future of work will converge on training agents. We're paying out over $1M / day to people in our marketplace and hiring experts rapidly across nearly every domain: software engineers, doctors, lawyers, consultants, bankers, and many more.
