SHORTList’s read

Series A closed in March, revenue up 4x this year, and the founder has been running growth solo. This is their first growth hire. You’d own the whole playbook from day one.

Tally · Seed

Consumer fintech · 11 people

Why we’re watching

Seed closed in March and headcount has doubled since. All engineering, no GTM. Fintech at this stage typically opens a marketing lead within two quarters of that pattern.

Founding Engineer

Cobalt · Series A

SHORTList’s read

Series A just closed and the whole product still runs on the prototype the founders wrote. First engineer outside the founding team, so you’d be rebuilding it rather than inheriting someone else’s decisions.

Interesting role to work closely with a successful, repeat founder. Looking for someone to carry real operating responsibility, not just admin.

Caret · Series A

Healthtech · 24 people

Why we’re watching

Series A closed six weeks ago by a team that’s still 80% technical. Nobody owns go-to-market yet, but we expect them to start hiring for this team in the next 6 months.

FAQ

Our one job is tracking top companies themselves. We comb through thousands of startups, funding announcements, news articles, and more to find and identify only the top startups (and then we track them obsessively).

We look at signals like funding, headcount, leadership changes, team pages, and are also fortunate to get tips before anyone else from our community when their companies are hiring.
