Who's Raising? Who's Hiring?

November 8, 2023 - November 15, 2023

HEADS UP
Something New.

I am trying something new this week.

When looking for a job, I wished I had information about startups raising money and hiring so I knew who was up-and-coming and who investors believed in.

Every Saturday, I share three companies, and lots of people click those links.

So, I decided… why not send a longer list?

There is a survey at the bottom of the page.

Please fill it out to let me know what you think about receiving this email every week.

If you want more - Great!

If you hate it and don’t want it anymore - Also great for me to know!

I am excited to give you more information, help you get job offers at great companies, and hear your feedback!
