Humanae Ventures · Manila

One partner for how your company learns, runs, and thinks.

Three firms, one team.

Bihasa runs your HR programs. Bespoke builds and runs your systems. Mettle gives your leadership a company brain.

Built for Philippine companies that want more from their people, not more software to babysit.

Companies we work with

The pattern we keep seeing

You bought the platform. Nobody is running it.

Most companies we meet do not have a tools problem. They have an ownership problem. The Learning Management System has a hundred modules and twelve active learners. HR is buried in compliance paperwork. Someone tried an AI pilot in March and it quietly died.

We take ownership of the layer nobody owns, so your people can get back to the work that matters.

Systems bought, never adopted

Licences renew every year. Usage never does. The vendor sells software; nobody sells the running of it.

HR drowning in administration

DOLE and OSH compliance, onboarding, training records, recruitment follow-ups. Good people doing work a system should carry.

AI pilots with no owner

Leaders know they should be using it. Nobody has made it part of how the company decides and operates day to day.

Three firms, one engagement

Each firm owns one layer. Together they cover the whole job.

Start with the one that hurts most. Bring in the others when you are ready. Same team, same contract style, same people on your Viber group.

HR managed services

Layer 01

Bihasa

We run the HR work no one on your team has time to own.

Learning and compliance today. Recruitment, onboarding and performance administration as each system goes live. Bihasa staffs it, measures it, and reports to you monthly. The system is included; the running of it is the product.

Managed learning and compliance (DOLE, OSH, role training)
Managed recruitment and performance administration, from go-live of your Bespoke-built system
Custom course and microlearning production
Large-scale rollouts, including public sector

Start here if: you have HR work that needs running, not another system to self-manage.

Billing: monthly, starts at go-live, not at signing.

The tech layer

Rent-the-system from ₱40K per month, month to month
You keep the IP. Source and data are yours.
Working prototype before you commit
AI features built in, not bolted on

The thinking layer

Layer 03

Mettle

A company brain your leadership team actually uses.

Mettle sets up and manages AI as a working part of your company: your documents, decisions and numbers in one place your leaders can ask questions of. Then we train the team to decide from it, and build the agents that do the repeat work.

The brain: your company's knowledge, organised and managed
Aligned leaders: hands-on training for your management team
Agents: sales follow-up, reporting, and other repeat work
Built for owner-led companies of 100 to 1,000 people

Start here if: you want AI inside how the company runs, with someone accountable for it.

Billing: monthly subscription, starts at go-live, not at signing.

How we work

You see it working before you pay for it.

One engagement, one invoice, one team. Here is what the first ninety days usually look like when a company brings us in.

Week 1 · Friday

Discovery call

Forty-five minutes with you and whoever owns the pain. We leave with the one problem worth solving first.
Week 2 · Tuesday

Working prototype

A real system or a real program outline built around your situation. Your team clicks through it. We adjust on the spot.
Weeks 3 to 8

Build and go live

Fixed scope, fixed date. Your people are trained as part of the rollout, not after it.
From go-live

We run it, monthly

Managed billing starts the day it is live. A named person on our side owns adoption, support and the monthly report to you.

Done for you

Not a toolkit and a wish. We staff the work.

You keep the IP

Anything we build for you is yours, including the data.

Pay for what is live

Managed fees begin at go-live. No charge for discovery or the prototype.

Fixed prices for government

PhilGEPS Platinum. Non-variable pricing, no conditional charges.

Recent work

What it looks like when all three layers are in play.

Government · Education

A digital learning platform for a city's public schools

Bihasa as prime, Bespoke building the platform: 52 schools, around 6,000 teachers, and roughly 180,000 students on one system, hosted and managed for the city at a fixed price.

Bihasa + Bespoke

Enterprise · HR

Managed learning plus custom HR systems for a large Philippine employer

Bihasa runs the learning programs month to month; Bespoke built and runs the systems behind them. One partner, two layers, a multi-year relationship.

Bihasa + Bespoke

Engineering · Construction

In scoping

A company brain for an owner-led engineering firm

Project issues, delays and site developments flow into one place the leadership team can ask questions of, so regular updates and decisions come from the same picture. It starts with hands-on AI training for the executive team, then the core dashboard.

Mettle

Why we exist

Making work more human.

Humanae is a venture builder from Manila. We start companies that take the work no one should be doing by hand off people's desks, so they can spend their days on work that uses what they are actually good at. Technology, including AI, is the means. People staying in the work is the point.

What that means for you

We will not push a solution. The discovery call is to find out whether there is a match between your problem and what we run. If there isn't, we will say so and point you somewhere better.

Every system we sell, we run inside our own companies first. If it doesn't make our own work better, it doesn't ship to yours.

Forty-five minutes, no fee, no deck. Mel, who leads sales across our three firms, replies within one business day to find a slot. If one of the founders should be in the room, they will be.
