The Story Behind kleoverse
A father’s experience with a broken hiring process became a mission to rethink how professional identity works.
The origin
“In 2024, I watched my 20-year-old daughter apply for job after job and hear nothing back. She wasn’t unqualified. She was invisible.”
Jan ValkonenFounder & CEO, kleoverse
“The technology has changed. The reason I’m building this hasn’t.”
From ForteAI to kleoverse
A recruitment idea that became a question about identity.
Jan Valkonen started by challenging resume-first hiring. The deeper he went, the clearer it became that a person’s professional life is scattered across many systems, and every new platform asks them to rebuild it.
The original kleoverse
A Web3 Proof-of-Talent product for professional reputation, portfolios and work in decentralized communities.
ForteAI
Jan founded ForteAI to challenge resume-first hiring and began building Adaptive Profiles. The kleoverse technology history continued through ForteAI to 2025.
kleoverse, rebuilt
Following a 2026 ownership change, Jan began rebuilding kleoverse as a user-controlled professional identity for people, companies and AI agents.
