MicroAGI founder and CEO Bercan Kilic says the company reached $100M ARR faster than anyone in history, and detailed its unusual hiring process: after an initial vibe-check interview with a Chief of Staff, candidates spend 48-72 paid hours — ideally a couple weeks — working on the company's hardest, messiest problems in-house before meeting the CEO. The paid trial under real fire is the part that actually decides the hire.
