Overview

Juicebox is on a mission to help teams win the talent war.

In the age of AI, human ingenuity is the ultimate scarce resource. Recruiting is a zero-sum game where you either compete or lose.

Teams at Ramp, Notion, and leading AI labs use Juicebox to power their hiring, alongside 5,000+ customers from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies.

We’re on the path to $100M in ARR with 20%+ monthly growth, powering thousands of searches every day and making Juicebox one of the fastest-growing AI SaaS companies in the world. In 2026, Juicebox was named to Forbes’ Next Billion-Dollar Startups list and LinkedIn’s Top Startups list.

Juicebox has raised $116M in funding, including a $30M Series A led by Sequoia Capital and an $80M Series B led by DST Global. NFDG lead out seed round, and additional investors include Y Combinator, Coatue, BOND, Lux Capital, Verified Capital, and Committed Capital.
