Mission

Help AI-teams hire for AI teams to scale with confidence.

Vision

The best AI talent shouldn’t be locked inside Big Tech.
We’re building the most trusted nearshore path for startups to scale AI teams with confidence.

Our Story

Tesoro AI exists because hiring AI talent got unrealistic.

  • The problem: Big Tech salary pressure made critical AI roles harder for startups to fill.
  • The insight: LATAM has world-class engineers—if you vet well and hire the right way.
  • The solution: Tesoro AI builds curated shortlists so startups hire faster and ship sooner.
