How recruiters use this list
Sort by recruiter fit, filter to your niche, and save the companies that fit. The pitch email button drafts an opener from the round and their open roles. Reach the founder or head of talent while the headcount plan is still being written.
Recruitment leads, rankedWhere the rounds come from
Funding announcements in the news and trade press, plus every SEC Form D filed by a young US company, the notice it files when it sells shares. Equity rounds only: debt, fund raises and running totals are left out. Every card links to its source.
The funding reportHow this list is built
- Sources. Funding announcements found in news and trade-press feeds every hour, plus every SEC Form D filed by a US company incorporated in the last seven years that sold $1M or more, read from the SEC's daily filing index. Every card links to where the round came from.
- What counts. Equity rounds only. Debt, grants, revenue-based "growth capital", fund raises, crypto and betting are left out. A company appears once, by its latest round; a second report of the same round is merged into the first.
- SEC filings. A Form D shows the amount sold so far and the people running the company, not the round name or the investors, so those cards say "SEC filing". When the round is announced later, the news version replaces it.
- Open roles. We find each company's website and its public job board (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable and others) and count the open roles every day, so you can see the change since the raise. Where only a careers page exists, we link it and do not guess a number.
- Recruiter fit (out of 100). Recency of the round up to 30 points, round size up to 20, open roles up to 20, hiring growth since the raise up to 15, plus 10 when they are hiring with no recruiter role open, 5 for a leadership hire and 8 when a job board is live with no roles yet. When we cannot count their roles, the score is capped at 40.
- Industries and countries come from the headline first and the company's own website second. Investors come from the announcement. Spotted a mistake? Tell us and we fix it.

Common questions
How many startups raised funding recently?
859 startups announced a round or filed an SEC Form D in the 90 days to 12 Nov 2026, and 463 in the last 30 days. Each company counts once, by its latest round.
Which startups raised most recently?
The latest include Course Corrected (€80M), Hatz AI ($24M Series A), Mount Thor ($45M), BluWave-ai ($8.1M), Databento ($100M Series C). The list on this page can be sorted by newest, round size, open roles or recruiter fit.
Which investors back the most startups?
Among the 311 companies whose investors were reported, Insight Partners (9), a16z (9), Sequoia (8) appear most often.
How much do startups raise?
The median round is about $17M across the 859 rounds with a disclosed amount. The most common size is $10–25M (192 rounds).
How many of these startups are hiring?
154 of them (18%) have open roles on a public job board right now, 4,094 roles in total. We count each company's own job board every day, so you can see who is hiring fastest since the raise.
How often is this list updated?
Every hour for news and SEC filings, and every day for open roles. Last refreshed 12 Nov 2026, 12:07 pm ET.
Can I download the full list?
Yes, free. Use Download CSV above the list for the rounds that match your filters, or the CSV link at the top for every company on this page with investors, people, open roles and job titles. No sign-up needed.
How soon do startups hire after a funding round?
Most start adding headcount within one to three months of closing a round, because the plan the investors backed usually includes new hires. Seed rounds tend to fund a handful of first engineers; Series A and later rounds fund whole teams. A round is a signal to start the conversation, not proof that roles are open, so check the Hiring column and the company's own careers page.
Where can I find recently funded startups for free?
This page lists every round from the last 90 days, pulled every hour from public funding announcements, trade press and SEC Form D filings, with a free CSV download. Every row links to its source. Other free routes are company press releases, the SEC EDGAR search for Form D filings, and funding coverage in tech news.
What is recruiter fit?
A 1 to 99 score for how strong a business development lead a company is right now. It weighs how recent the round is (up to 30 points), its size (20), open roles (20) and how fast that number is growing (15), plus points when they are hiring without a recruiter role open, hiring leaders, or have not posted roles yet.
What is an SEC Form D?
Form D is the short notice a US company files with the SEC when it sells shares in a private round. It shows the amount sold so far and the company's address, but it does not name the round or the investors. Form D often appears before, or instead of, a public announcement, which is why some rows here show "SEC filing, round not named".
How should a recruiter approach a company that just raised?
Reach the founder or the first person running hiring soon after the announcement, while the hiring plan is still being written. Lead with the roles the round is likely to fund, show you know their space, and keep it short. Companies that already post roles on public job boards are a warmer start.
Why is a round I know about missing?
Rounds appear when a news headline names the company and the amount, or when a US company files a Form D. Rounds announced without an amount, debt facilities, and rounds older than 90 days are left out.
