Work setup and location

Each listing notes whether the company is Onsite or Remote, plus its base city. Examples:

  • Remote: Solcoa Industries (Alameda), Ambrook (New York), Pika (Palo Alto), Glide (San Francisco)
  • Onsite: Kaizen (New York), Peec AI (Berlin), Sunday (Redwood City), Irregular (Tel Aviv), Vizcom (San Francisco), Neko (Stockholm)

How the curation works

The gallery is described as curated daily, and the site states it tracks companies funded by leading investors such as Y Combinator, Sequoia, and a16z. Listings combine three things in one place: the company profile, open jobs, and funding news. The page shows a "Join for free" prompt and a "Load more startups" control, so the full set of 1,356 companies is browsable beyond the initial view.

What this means if you're using the site

  • If you're job hunting, you can filter mentally by sector, stage, and remote/onsite preference — all three are visible per listing.
  • If you're tracking the market, the dated funding entries give a running feed of who raised what and when.
  • If you're researching a specific sector, the AI and fintech categories are the most densely represented in the visible sample, but the gallery is not limited to them.
