Welcome back to Top Startups! Each week, I share whoβs freshly funded by the best investors, and looking to hire.
Any of these catch your eye, let me know and I can intro you π
Rutter | E-Commerce | πΈ $27M Series A from A16Z | 20 employees π€
What they do: Building a universal API for commerce data
What I like: Theyβre doing for e-commerce data what Plaid did for financial data; commerce tools are fragmented which means heavy eng time coding integrations; Rutter is building an API to make integrations fast and easy; already processing billions(!) of transactions for customers like Ramp in year 1
Webflow | SaaS | πΈ $120M Series C from YC at $4B valuation | 500 employees π€
What they do: Building 100% customizable no-code website builder
What I like: Used by 3.5 million people to build websites, including yours truly; killer product that balances power and ease of use; designed to be sticky β the last thing you want after building a site is to rebuild it π
Persona | SaaS | πΈ $150M Series C from Founders Fund at $1.5B valuation | 130 employees π€
What they do: Building software that helps companies verify customer identities; used by Square, Blockfi, Doordash, and many more
What I like: Theyβre doing for identity what Stripe did for payments; FinTech, EdTech and many marketplaces need to verify their customers, Persona is building the best-in-class way to do that; lots of upside from its $1.5B valuation
