Welcome back to Top Startups! Thereβs a hiring freeze across Big Tech, but there are many well-funded startups with lean teams that are still actively hiring.
Here are my favorites for this week. Any of these catch your eye, let me know and I can intro you π:
What they do: They have a $500M seed fund and have worked with Figma, Abnormal Security, Snorkel.AI, Instabase, and many other $B+ companies starting in their stealth days. Hiring for a portfolio of startups (consumer, enterprise, crypto, ML)
What I like: Strong track record of incubating hits; you'll get to pick across a portfolio; early enough for massive upside and learning
Hiring: Eng, product, design, interns/new grads Remote and in SF
Disco | E-Commerce | πΈ $20M Series A from Bessemer, Shopify | 40 employees
What they do: Help independent brands reach more customers at lower cost
What I like: Impressive traction β $1B in transactions over its brand network in year 1; 30-50% lower cost of acquisition than FB and IG by helping brands cross-sell and partner up; Shopify made it easy to start an e-commerce site, Disco makes it easy to grow an e-commerce brand
Middesk | SaaS | πΈ $57M Series B from Sequoia, Accel, YC | 60 employees
What they do: Automate business verification and underwriting to help B2B companies onboard customers faster and more reliably
What I like: Hits the sweet spot of: 1) hard problem for companies to solve in-house; 2) clear ROI by helping companies grow faster; trusted by strong roster of customers from Shopify to Plaid and Rippling; valuable mission of leveling the playing field for new businesses to get capital and tooling
