Hey Hackers!
Welcome to another edition of HackerNoon Startups of The Week, where we highlight standout innovators from the Startups of The Year 2024 database.
This week, we’re spotlighting three forward-thinking companies redefining how we connect, collaborate, and create value in the digital age: Leonado Limited, Worksible, and Sereda.ai.
Meet the Startups of the Week!
Leonado Limited
Straight from London, United Kingdom, Leonado Limited has emerged as a global force in Business Intelligence, winning HackerNoon’s Startups of The Year 2024 award in the category.
Leonado’s technology has already reached users in over 150 countries, a milestone that highlights both scalability and market validation. From robust infrastructure to a growing network effect, their global footprint demonstrates that this team doesn’t just dream big, they deliver. And now, with their newest EdTech initiative using Blockchain Digital ID, Leonado continues to push boundaries, blending education, identity, and innovation into one future-ready platform.
Meet Worksible
Next up is Worksible, winner of HackerNoon’s Startups of The Year 2024 in the Community of Madrid and Generative AI categories.
Born from a simple but powerful belief, that work shouldn’t feel like a cage, Worksible is redefining the future of work. Their mission is to build a space where purpose meets productivity, connecting freelance talent with meaningful projects that align with their values and goals. At the heart of it all is WorkAI, their in-house AI engine that matches freelancers and companies based on skills, culture fit, and mission alignment. But WorkAI goes even further: it helps companies design better briefs, estimate budgets, and speed up onboarding.
Earlier this year, the Worksible team took their ethos of flexibility to a new level with the Worksible House: a month-long creative residency in Portugal where the team lived, collaborated, and re-imagined the company from the inside out. Their journey took a turning point when they stopped “iterating on a product” and started “building a system for purpose-driven work.” That shift has turned Worksible from just another freelance marketplace into a movement - one that envisions a tech-powered, human-centered future of work.
Meet Sereda.ai
Rounding out this week’s list is Sereda.ai, winner of HackerNoon’s Startups of The Year 2025 in the AI Wrappers category.
Sereda.ai is a modular Human Capital Management (HCM) platform infused with AI to optimize everything from talent development to performance reviews and employee engagement. In short, it’s the intelligent engine that helps businesses nurture, retain, and empower their people.
Their latest initiative, the Sereda Partnership Program, invites consultants, HR tech advisors, and agencies to join the movement. The program rewards partners with 20% commission for the first year on any client referrals while Sereda handles everything else, from demos to onboarding.
