Pick a place, an industry, the rounds and the roles you recruit for. Every morning your AI assistant gives you the startups that just announced a round, the jobs each one has up with links and dates, and who to write to, with a verified work email when there is one.
I'm a tech recruiter. Every morning, find the US software startups that announced a seed or Series A round yesterday or today, list the jobs each one has up, and tell me who to write to, with a verified email.
What you get
- The startups that announced a round in your window, with amount, round, date, city and the news link
- The job postings each one has up, newest first, each with the date it was first seen and a link, and the ones that are new since the round
- Who to write to at each startup that is hiring, with a verified work email when one is found
- The startups that raised but have no open job postings, and whether past ones were closed
A real run
We ran this on Oct 13, 2026 for US software startups that announced a round on Oct 12 or 13. We asked for seed and Series A; the funding database files pre-seed and seed extensions under seed, and it listed 9, all read. Counts are a snapshot and were recomputed from the same run after we fixed how repeated postings are merged. Contacts are masked here. Companies are examples from public funding news; we are not affiliated.
Clueso announced a US$10 million Series A on Oct 13, and 2 of its 4 job postings showed up the same day: a founding account executive (remote or San Francisco) and a performance marketer (Bengaluru).
The brief covered the 9 early-stage US software startups a funding database listed for Oct 12–13. 5 of them had job postings up, 23 in all. 10 of the 23 were first seen in the last 30 days and the oldest in May 2025, so each posting shows its date.
Preference Model (US$16 million seed) had 5 technical roles up. Lightsprint (US$6.1 million seed) had 5, including a founding account executive. Dapta (US$6 million seed) had 7, all in Bogotá. Maritime (pre-seed) had 2 internships.
The brief named the founder of 4 of the 5 and found a verified work email for each of those 4. For Lightsprint the brief missed the founder: the pages it read name the cofounder and CEO, but this run did not pick the name out (the brief picks it out now). The other 4 had no open job postings: Loops AI had 13 listed, all closed; Ace Reputations, Drylab AI and VoicePatrol had none found.
What you do with it: write to the founder the week the round is announced, mention the round and one role you can fill for them.

How it works
Your AI assistant does these steps for you. You pay only for each run; nothing to install or configure.
Finds the startups that just raised
From a funding database that tracks rounds from press releases and news within hours: amount, round, date, city, team size and the announcement.
Find startups that just raised money (Fundable) →Reads the jobs each one has up
Job postings found on the company’s careers page and job boards, with the date each was first seen. Closed postings are dropped, the same role listed for two places counts once, and postings new since the round are marked. You can keep only the roles you recruit for.
Company signals: jobs, news, funding (PredictLeads) →Finds who to write to
Reads news and profiles for a sentence that names the founder or CEO of that company, and keeps the source.
Search the web with date and site filters (Linkup) →Checks their work email
Looks for a verified work email at the company. When none is verified, the brief says so instead of guessing.

Where does the data come from?
Rounds come from a funding database that tracks press releases and news within hours. Job postings come from company careers pages and job boards. Founders are read from news and profiles, and emails are checked with an email verifier. Every item links to its source.
What does it cost?
This brief cost US$1.51: US$0.60 for the 9 startups, US$0.54 to read their job postings, and US$0.37 to find and verify founders at the 5 that were hiring. Run every weekday, briefs like this one come to about US$33 a month. New accounts start with US$5 free.
Can it run every morning on its own?
Yes, if your AI assistant can schedule tasks (ChatGPT and Claude can). Ask it to run this every weekday at 7 a.m., look only at rounds announced since yesterday, and send you the link.
How accurate is it?
Rounds, amounts and dates are what each announcement said. Job postings can be old or already filled, which is why each one shows the date it was first seen. Names are read from public pages, so check the source line before you write.
Will the startup know I looked them up?
No. Everything comes from public pages and databases; nothing is sent to the company.
What if a startup shows no open job postings?
The brief says which case it is. If past postings were all closed, the startup was hiring and stopped or filled the roles. If none were found, it may be too new for job data or post jobs only on its own site, so check again in a few days.
