Today is a special day. It's my birthday 🎂 But it's also the day we introduce the next chapter of Eqo. When we started, our mission was simple: help organizations attract and retain frontline talent. We began by unlocking the power of employee referrals. But over time, a much bigger problem became impossible to ignore. As we worked alongside healthcare recruiting teams, we realized they already have thousands (often millions) of candidates sitting idle in their databases. Past applicants. Silver medalists. Hiring event attendees. Employee referrals. Former employees. Yet most of that talent goes untapped and becomes outdated over time, forcing organizations to continue spending more and more on external job boards to attract candidates. Over the past year, we've been building toward something bigger. Today, Eqo is evolving into Hellora. The AI Recruiting CRM for Healthcare Hiring. Hellora helps recruiting teams rediscover, enrich, and engage the talent already in their databases – while continuing to power employee referrals. Truly grateful for our customers, partners, investors, and incredible team for helping make this possible. We're just getting started. 🚀 https://www.hellora.com/

We’re hiring for multiple roles: Systems, Kernel, Low-level Security, and AI/ML Scientists. If you’re excited about working with GPUs and solving the hardest technical challenges, check out Stealthium and send me a DM.
To my ex-coworkers at Elastic: if you’re affected by the recent layoff, please do reach out 🙏🏻 I’m glad to help as much as I can because I know how talented you are, and I enjoyed working together. We’re hiring at Stealthium or I can make introductions to other companies in my network who are hiring 💪🏻
Come drop by today in Amman at bldr space mecca street for awesome demos, great people and greater conversations. And pizza 🍕 We have Zeyad AbuLaban talking about a project he’s been working for deploying isolated environments and scaling them on demand. Khaled Shadid will talk about his computer use model that’s fast and runs the technology behind NeuralAgent. Iyad Ahmad the great will show some of the great work they are doing at Arabic.AI. Karim Malhas will show some of the ground work for agent call orchestration that runs 500 - 1M calls per month at HeyBreezAI. Ismail Armouti will show his legal IDE platform and the tech behind it. We are very excited to collaborate with Ezz Abuzaid Farah Abu Hmaidan and the agent lab community on this. Big thank you to Natasha Salti and the bldr space for hosting us and always being the home where those communities start.

🚀 We open-sourced Sighthound today. Sighthound is a Rust-based static vulnerability scanner for source code. It runs locally or in CI, uses Tree-sitter parsers, and supports pattern-based detection plus taint flow analysis. It also comes with all it's rulesets with no paid account or signup needed. Why build another static scanner in 2026? Semgrep and OpenGrep are useful, but we kept running into a few constraints: the OCaml core raises the contribution bar for many developers, adding language support is not as simple as we wanted, and some higher-signal rule content in the ecosystem sits behind accounts or paid offerings. We wanted something fast, inspectable, easy to extend, and fully open. A few implementation details: - Rust binary for local and CI use - Tree-sitter parsing - Pattern matching and taint analysis by default - Cross-file taint propagation and dependency tracking - Parallel file discovery and scanning - Text, JSON, and CSV output - Rules written in RON and deserialized into typed Rust structs/enums - MIT licensed Current support includes Python, JS/TS, Java, Go, C#, HTML, PHP and Ruby. It focuses on source-code vulnerability classes like command injection, SQL injection, XSS, path traversal, code injection, unsafe deserialization, and crypto issues. It is not a secrets scanner. We're still have a lot of work to getting to where we want it to be so, we would love the community to test it, break it, report issues, and tell us where it falls short. PRs for rules, language support, fixtures, and false-positive tuning are very welcome. Link to the repo in the comments below 👇

JUST IN 🇯🇴: Five AI startups from Tunisia, Morocco, Jordan, and Egypt have completed Kernel Camp, Propeller's inaugural eight-week Silicon Valley residency programme for deep-tech founders from MENA. The five companies, selected from the top 3% of applicants: 🇹🇳 OORB Open Organic Robotics — robotics observability platform that captures every robot run, scores reliability, and identifies what changed when behaviour break 🇲🇦 Eli by Techbible — AI Stack Manager that maps every SaaS tool and AI agent, tracks spend and usage, and shows what software is actually doing the work 🇯🇴 Firstflow — in-chat onboarding platform guiding users from first message to full adoption through structured widgets embedded in the agent interface 🇪🇬 NexGuards — AI-powered social engineering and cyber attack simulation platform for enterprise security awareness training 🇲🇦 FlowBrave — intelligent operations platform that turns static processes into dynamic, AI-guided workflows Throughout the residency, founders received direct mentorship from executives and operators at OpenAI, Meta, Airbnb, JP Morgan, Lux Capital, Mozilla Ventures, and Plug and Play. The programme is built on a premise that's been consistently proven right across the MENA ecosystem: the founders are ready, and the networks, not the talent, have been the gap. Bringing MENA founders into the operating culture, technical communities, and investor relationships of Silicon Valley for eight weeks is not the same as sending them to a conference. Propeller manages a $50 million Fund III and is already preparing the second edition of Kernel Camp. More cohorts are coming. 👀 Interested in MENA tech & startups?

The QA you do today covers 5% of your reality. The other 95% goes uncoached, uncaught, and unaccountable. A missed compliance disclosure. Two reviewers grading the same call differently. Coaching built on 30 calls QA had time to pull, not the 600 that actually happened. This is the contact center quality assurance most regulated enterprises run today. Manual. Anecdotal. Late. We don't think it's QA anymore. We think it's QA theatre. Today we shipped what covers the other 95%. Clarity AI Agent QA. 100% of voice and text. Scored within minutes of call end. Against your existing rubric. With evidence linked to the exact moment that justified each grade.
🚀🚀 The Kernel Camp showcase took place on May 30th in the heart of San Francisco's Presidio. The 5 participating companies pitched live to an audience of investors, founders and potential partners. A huge congrats to all on a job well done 👏 OORB Open Organic Robotics: A robotics observability platform that captures every robot run, scores reliability, and identifies what changed when behavior breaks. Eli by Techbible: An AI Stack Manager for modern companies that maps every SaaS tool and AI agent, tracks spend, usage, and renewals, and shows you what software is actually doing the work. Firstflow: The activation layer for AI agents, an in-chat onboarding platform that guides users from first message to full adoption through structured clarification widgets embedded directly in the agent’s chat interface. NexGuards: AI-powered social engineering platform, providing personalized cyber attack simulation and awareness training for enterprises. FlowBrave: Intelligent operations platform that bridges the Execution Gap, turning static processes into dynamic, AI-guided workflows for flawless performance. More reflections and updates on Kernel Camp coming soon!
