Aetheon, a new startup that helps job candidates map their real world capabilities into work opportunities, has raised $1.24 million as part of its seed round. The company, which was founded last year, aims to build a “skills operating system” to help workers, particularly military veterans and recent graduates, translate their real-world experience into language employers can use. The platform uses data from over 100 occupational sources and maps it against a proprietary taxonomy of over 300 skills, generating verified profiles that workers can carry across job opportunities. The funding will be used to launch its beta, expand pilot programs with employers, nonprofits, and public-sector partners, and build out its underlying data and intelligence layer.
