Summary
Modus builds AI-powered headcount management software that helps companies avoid overhiring by connecting HRIS and ATS data into a unified workflow. Founded by Lin Ling, who scaled HashiCorp from 100 to 2500 employees as VP BizOps through IPO, along with Amar and Chris (a 2x founder), they solve the problem of manual, error-prone spreadsheet-based workforce planning. They use AI to detect anomalies in hiring plans, provide real-time capacity tracking, and benchmark compensation data, helping Finance, HR, and Sales leaders make workforce decisions from a single source of truth.
