Startup jobs at companies that just raised

8,379 live roles at 369 US startups that closed a funding round in the last 180 days — read daily from each company's own hiring system, so every opening is real, current, and attached to fresh money.

Most job boards tell you a company is hiring. This one tells you why it is hiring right now: each role carries the round, the amount raised, how many days ago the money landed and who led it — the context that separates a growing company from one quietly running out of runway.

Why target freshly funded startups?

A closed round is the highest-agency moment in a company's life. The money was raised for exactly one purpose — growth — and the company now has no real choice but to spend it that way. Nobody wires millions so a team can stay the same size. The hiring plan is usually written into the pitch that raised the round, which makes headcount the first thing the new money buys.

This is not just a story. Recruiting-industry analyses find that startups raising Seed through Series B rounds typically grow headcount 30–60% within six months of the round. A company that just raised is not deciding whether to hire — it is deciding how fast it can.

For a candidate, that changes the odds twice over. The roles exist because there is fresh budget behind them, not because a manager is fishing for resumes. And the runway question — the thing that makes startup offers feel risky — has just been answered in public, with a number, a date and the names of the investors who wrote the checks.

The first 48 hours decide most applications

Timing studies of hiring pipelines keep finding the same thing: the practical application window is the first day or two after a role goes up, because recruiters work applications roughly in the order they arrive and shortlists form early.

Our alerts fire the day the round is announced.

The funding announcement comes first; the hiring wave follows it. If you hear about the round the day it lands, you are applying to those roles before most people know the company has money — before the crowd exists.

How it works

1

We watch every US venture round

Pre-Seed through pre-IPO. The day a round is announced, the company enters the hiring universe with its round, amount, date and lead investors attached.

2

We index its live openings daily

Roles are read straight from each company's own hiring system — the feed behind its careers page — and re-checked every day. A role that disappears there disappears here.

3

You search it — or it finds you

Search 180 days of funded-and-hiring companies by role, location and remote, or save the search and get alerted the moment new roles match.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fresh is the jobs data?

Every role is read from the hiring company's own applicant tracking system — the same feed that powers its careers page — and re-checked daily. New openings appear on the next pass after the company posts them, and the funding record attached to each role (round, amount, date, lead investors) is the same data behind the rest of VCBacked. The most recent refresh completed on September 11, 2026.

What counts as a recently funded startup?

A US company whose most recent venture round closed within the last 180 days, from Pre-Seed through pre-IPO. The public job board carries the freshest 60 days of that universe; the Job Seeker plan opens the full 180-day history — currently 8,379 live roles at 369 companies.

Do you list dead jobs?

No. Because roles come from each company's own hiring system rather than scraped aggregators, every opening is checked against that feed daily: the day a company takes a role down, it drops off here too. Only roles still live on the employer's careers page are counted or shown, which is why the totals on this page move every day.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Job Seeker is $49 per year, you can cancel anytime from your account, and it comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee — if it is not useful in the first week, you get the full amount back.

Is there an API?

Yes. The Job Seeker plan includes API access to the funded-companies-hiring dataset, and it works with Claude and ChatGPT — you can ask your AI assistant things like "which startups raised a Series A this month and are hiring engineers" and get answers drawn from the live data.

How do alerts work?

Save any search — a role keyword, a location, remote-only — and get notified when new matching roles appear at freshly funded companies. Free accounts get a weekly digest; Job Seeker gets instant alerts that fire the day a round is announced, which matters because applications sent in the first day or two of a posting do disproportionately well.
