Welcome back to Top Startups! Each week, I share who’s freshly funded by the best investors, and looking to hire.
Before we dive in, have you ever wondered why some people only get what they’re “qualified for” while others soar into next-level opportunities? It often comes down to a P-word: potential. Some ideas on how to come off as high-potential.
Alright, let’s get into it:
Mythical Games | DeFi Gaming | 💸 $150M Series C from A16Z | 150 employees 👤
What they do: Building platform for player-owned economies on the blockchain
What I like: Let’s say that games of the future will reward players for participation… will we want to return to the old way? Of course not! The most promising ideas cross the bridge of no return, like Mythical Games.
Hiring: 45+ roles incl. product, eng, finance, marketing, ops in SF, LA, SEA, Remote
Zeit Medical | Health | 💸 $2M Seed from YC | 8 employees 👤
What they do: Building devices and software to provide brain health monitoring for neurology injury patients
What I like: As more of our needs get taken care of, brain health is one of the final frontiers; Zeit has a strong medical founding team to do just that
Applied | SaaS | 💸 $3M Seed from Public | 35 employees 👤
What they do: Building a hiring system that removes bias; 4X selection of diverse candidates; 96% retention rate after 1-year
What I like: Important problem gaining traction among all companies; early enough for massive upside
That’s my top 3! To see the full list, check out all newly funded startups and jobs (it’s ordered by recency).
