Founders Across the Globe Work With Maleo AI
Lachlan McRitchie
Founder & GM of Operations, Maptrack, Australia
“As a founder, recruiting is one of the highest-stakes things you do, and getting it wrong is expensive in every sense. Febrian and the team understood that immediately. They helped us hire a UX/UI designer for MapTrack who's continued to help elevate our entire product, and the process from brief to offer felt genuinely founder-friendly, fast, well-curated, and honest about trade-offs. If you're a startup scaling fast and can't afford a mis-hire, talk to them.”
David Stancel
Co-Founder & COO, Cork Protocol (DeFi derivatives platform backed by A16Z), United States
“Maleo AI operates as a true extension of our team, combining strong technical execution with real ownership and a deep understanding of our business goals.

Working with Febrian has also been a great experience, very proactive, with great communication and reliability.”
