Welcome back to Top Startups! Each week, I share who’s freshly funded by Tier 1 investors, and looking to hire.
Before we dive into the shortlist, I’ve been wondering what the ~Metaverse~ and Great Resignation means for our careers. Here’s how to make the most of rising employee liquidity.Â
Now let’s get into it:
Aura | Consumer Security | 💸 $200M Series F from Accel | 600 employees 👤
What they do: Building identity theft and fraud protection for consumers
What I like: 1M paying consumers in 2 years is as impressive as they come; led by an experienced founder, Aura is his second multibillion-dollar company
Whimsical | Collaboration SaaS | 💸 $30M Series A from Accel | 20 employees 👤
What they do: Building a workspace for shaping ideas including flowcharts, wireframes, mind maps, and sticky notes
What I like: Genuinely fun product to build; Whimsical combines the fun of consumer with the stickiness of Enterprise; also has transparent salary and equity compensation!
Hiring: 3 roles incl. product lead, design lead, Head of ops in Remote
Medallion | Health | 💸 $30M Series B from Sequoia | 60 employees 👤
What they do: Automates credentialing, licensing and compliance for healthcare companies, aka digitizing the healthcare back officeÂ
What I like: What’s synonymous with healthcare? Administrative headaches. Medallion is automating away the pain, building valuable and lucrative infrastructure as more healthcare companies come online
Hiring: 20+ roles incl. eng, product, sales, finance in Remote
That’s my top 3!
