Who got funded? 💎

Unpacking $175M

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, here’s my framework on how to pick a winning startup. 

Now let’s get into it:

Veed | SaaS | 💸 $35M Series A from Sequoia | 60 employees 👤

• What they do: Making it easy for consumers and businesses to create and edit stunning videos

• What I like: Bootstrapped to profitable $1M ARR in year 1; $7M ARR and $1.5M MAU in year 2; video storytelling = massive & growing market, but most editing tools are notoriously hard to learn; high potential to be Canva for video

• Hiring: 20+ roles in London or Remote

Mos | FinTech | 💸 $40M Series B from Sequoia | 40 employees 👤

• What they do: Building banking for 400K+ students and helping them find scholarships

• What I like: One of the few fintechs that do well and do good; attracting young consumers + high retention makes for a supremely good business — I still use my BoA bank account from college… and I don’t even like them 😅

• Hiring: 17 roles in SF or Remote

Cointracker | Crypto | 💸 $100M Series A from Accel, YC | 30 employees 👤

• What they do: Building crypto portfolio and tax manager

• What I like: Solving two big headaches for anyone with $ in crypto: 1) hard to track gains across platforms and chains; 2) even harder to be tax-compliant; they already track $20B+ in asset for 500K+ users; experienced founders

• Hiring: 20+ roles in Remote

Any of these catch your eye, let me know and I can intro you 👋
