after starting the company in 2023
Mercor was already active in 2022, so saying the founders started it in 2023 is wrong.
Full reasoning
This sentence gives the wrong start year for Mercor.
A contemporaneous Mercor press release from April 12, 2022 says "Mercor.io was founded in January of 2022" and describes the company as already operating, generating revenue, and serving clients in April 2022. Georgetown University also reported that Mercor won its 2022 Entrepreneurship Challenge, which further confirms the company existed in 2022.
So the founders did not start Mercor in 2023.
