Able allows recruiters to simplify and automate the onboarding processes that prevent new employees from getting to work, from the most straightforward to the diabolically complex, so they can do what they were hired to do sooner. We believe that no matter who someone is, what job they do, whether they’re temporary or permanent, every employee can and should be able to have a great first day.

Mudita Venture Partners is a venture capital firm that is different by design. We deploy approximately 80% of our capital in early-stage, post-revenue companies focusing on AI-first B2B solutions. The remaining 20% of capital is allocated to Mudita Studios, which turns raw ideas into fundable companies. We believe extraordinary returns and meaningful impact can — and should — coexist. Through a principled, hands-on approach, we back founders who are building companies that help people live and lead better lives. More than capital, we bring deep operational expertise, a philosophy of co-creation, and a team of experienced operators committed to moving at founder speed. We offer a venture model built for what’s next, not just what’s worked before.
