Tacitco, an RL lab and post-training platform, has closed a 7-figure pre-seed round from New Zealand investors pre-revenue, with Antler Global, two other funds, and angels participating.
Notably, all four founders are in their 30s-40s with non-traditional backgrounds — biochem, mechanical engineering, physical education, and psychology — and the team says this eclectic mix actually helped close the round.
