The DCI program has been instrumental in our journey. The networking opportunities and support from DCI contributors have been invaluable in shaping AImploy into the company it is today.

AImploy is transforming recruitment for UK SMEs with its AI-driven talent assessment platform. Designed to streamline hiring, AImploy's solution aims to reduce the average recruitment time by 38.4 days, ensuring efficient and unbiased hiring for over 5.5 million SMEs.
Recruitment for SMEs is often slow and biased. Recognising this, AImploy's founders, all experienced in facing these challenges, are developing an AI-powered platform that evaluates candidates on skills and cultural fit, going beyond traditional resumes.
The Role of Durham City Incubator
The Durham City Incubator (DCI) has been crucial in AImploy's development. Through DCI, the founders have received guidance on business model development, financial planning, marketing strategies, and networking. This support has been vital in turning their idea into a viable business.
Commenting on the programme, Arjun Cheruvally, one of the founders of AImploy said: "The DCI program has been instrumental in our journey. The networking opportunities and support from DCI contributors have been invaluable in shaping AImploy into the company it is today."
AImploy aims to launch its minimum viable product (MVP) and secure investment by July, further scaling their operations and impact in the HR tech industry.
AImploy's success highlights the importance of innovation and support from programs like DCI. For startups looking to turn ideas into thriving businesses, DCI offers essential guidance and resources. The advice from Arjun to other business founders is: "Make DCI part of your journey from the beginning. It gives immense confidence and clarity to execute your idea into a successful business."
DCI Manager Leon Howe commented: "AImploy exemplifies the innovative spirit we foster at Durham City Incubator. Their AI-driven approach to revolutionising recruitment for SMEs showcases how cutting-edge technology can address real-world business challenges. We're proud to have supported AImploy's journey from concept to market-ready solution."

“Business support helps you step back and look at the bigger picture. It’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day tasks, but having someone from outside the business to discuss ideas with, to push us forward, has been crucial.”

Finance Durham
The benefit of speaking to Maven about the Finance Durham fund is the flexibility of the fund on offer, which means we can invest from a small amount up to several millions via equity or debt.

Power Roll
Maven helped us in terms of facilities by introductions into Business Durham, and also the funding opportunities here in County Durham, which really did help pull a package of measures together, which made the premises we're in today, Jade Business Park, that compelling proposition.
