New Funding, New Roles
Each week, we spotlight newly funded startups and their open roles. Here’s a quick peek at what they’re building and who they need:
🇺🇸 Bland AI
Series A - $16M; Investors: Scale Venture Partners, Y Combinator
What it does: Enterprise platform for AI phone calls.
Why it matters: Over half of people prefer phone calls with businesses, but each call costs US companies $3.00 to $5.00. Call centers, essential but expensive to staff, face severe challenges:
High turnover: Jobs are tough, poorly paid, and repetitive.
Costs: High training, onboarding, and recruitment expenses.
Inefficiency: Agents often lack context or expertise for complex issues.
Open positions: UX/UI Developer - San Francisco; Support Engineer - San Francisco; Founding Product Designer - San Francisco; AI / ML Engineer - San Francisco
🇺🇸 Pylon
Series A - $17M; Investors: Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Y Combinator
What it does: Pylon is a modern alternative to Zendesk, designed to help B2B companies manage customer interactions across various platforms, including shared Slack channels, Microsoft Teams, email, in-app chat, and Slack communities.
Open positions: Product Designer - San Francisco; Software Engineer (New Grad) - San Francisco; Software Engineer - San Francisco; Product Support Engineer - San Francisco
🇺🇸 Butlr
Series B - $38M; Investors: Foundry Group, Pacific Alliance Venture, DNX Ventures, Qualcomm
What it does: Butlr is the world's first and only 100% anonymous people-sensing and occupancy detection platform. It helps enterprises globally improve workplace planning and optimize operations using body heat and advanced AI technologies, all without capturing any identities.
Open positions: Account Executive, North America - Remote
🇺🇸 Bridge
Series A - $40M; Investors: Sequoia Capital, Ribbit Capital, Index Ventures, Haun Ventures
What it does: Payments platform using stablecoins to streamline global money transfers. Bridge offers faster, cheaper, and borderless dollar access compared to SWIFT and other fiat systems through its APIs.
