Grapevine started as a networking platform enabling anonymous discussions around salaries, hiring, layoffs and workplace culture. The company has expanded into AI products, launching TAL, an AI-powered talent agent that scans job opportunities and recommends roles, and Round1, an AI-based interview practice platform that simulates interviews and provides feedback. Founders Saumil Tripathi, Jainam Talsania and Shreeyash Dharmadhikari lead the company. Grapevine competes with Teamblind, Glassdoor, Fishbowl, Levels.fyi and Reddit. Financially, the company previously raised a $2.6 million seed round led by Peak XV Partners and has now raised an additional $4.1 million from Kae Capital, Peak XV Partners and Ronnie Screwvala to scale TAL and Round1.
