Welcome back to Top Startups! Each week, I share whoβs freshly funded by the best investors, and looking to hire.
Btw, hereβs my definitive guide on how to spend your first 90 days, especially at startups where things move faster. β‘
Now letβs get into it:
Culdesac | Sustainability | πΈ $30M Series A from Founders Fund, Khosla | 40 employees π€
What they do: Building cities for people, starting with a 1000-person car-free neighborhood in Tempe, AZ
What I like: Exploring new options for how we live; 52% of Americans want to live in a walkable neighborhood, but only 8% do; great fit if youβre into urban design / sustainable living
Hiring: 19 roles incl. eng, product, bizops, marketing, ops, finance in Remote
Lattice | Enterprise SaaS | πΈ $175M Series F from Thrive, Founders Fund | 500 employees π€
What they do: Building the leading people management platform, incl. performance reviews, employee engagement and analytics
What I like: One of the rare well-designed and dare I say delightful(!) enterprise products; incredibly sticky product; 3000+ customers incl. Slack, Reddit, Asana; I file this under high-likelihood-to-IPO
Hiring: 100+ roles incl. eng, product, design, marketing, finance in SF, NY, Remote
Robust Intelligence | AI | πΈ $30M Series B from Sequoia | 40 employees π€
What they do: Eliminate AI failures for companies by stress-testing their models at the click of a button
What I like: World-class founding team with AI experience from Harvard, Google, Facebook; product improves with more models, which makes acquiring new customer easier, which makes product even better β love businesses that have a clear path to compounding!
Hiring: 20 roles incl. eng, product, design, marketing, sales mostly in SF, some Remote
Any of these catch your eye, let me know and I can intro you π
