Pelgo is a career transition platform that uses AI to help displaced workers find their next job, re-skill, and navigate career change — at a fraction of the cost of traditional outplacement services.

The startup emerges from stealth today with $5.5 million in seed funding and a mission to help workers find jobs in an AI-driven labor market. Pelgo CEO and co-founder Chieh Huang sat down with Macro Talk ahead of the announcement.

Full transcript of our conversation is below. Or watch here.

Chieh and Hope discuss:

  • The state of the outplacement industry

  • Which jobs will still require “humans in the loop”

  • The uncomfortable reality: the speed of job disruption vs. headline numbers

  • How VCs are funding companies differently in the AI era

  • The Future of Work: Why changing careers every few years will become the "new normal"
