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.
