Introducing you
to the
Selected from 630 companies in PitchBook's database
At Will Reed, we believe early-stage founders are shaping our future - creating culture - and it’s our responsibility and privilege to support them as they courageously bring good things into the world.
This Top 50 list is an homage to the creators, makers and shakers who are solving meaningful problems and doing it with deep regard for people and culture.
While these 50 companies raised $230M+ in seed funding from some of the globe’s most high-profile investors, with a median valuation of $18M, this list was not determined solely by funding or revenue; nor is it a “pay-for-play” opportunity.* Will Reed received an in-depth application from each Founder and then met him/her via Zoom, learning more about his/her company mission, vision, approach to culture, near-term growth plans, etc.
Readers, let’s celebrate and support the ones forging our future.
Cheers,
Hannah Yeargan

*Footnote: Investors include a16z, Craft Ventures, CRV, First Round Capital, GGV, LightSpeed Venture Partners, NFX, Sequoia, True Ventures, etc.
In partnership with PitchBook, our team compiled a list of tech companies seeded since June 2020. We narrowed the list to those HQ’d in the US, who raised at least $2M in funding. From there, we invited companies to apply, sharing detailed information about their teams, growth plans, mission, vision, culture and values. We read through their applications and determined the Top 50. We then conducted a deep-dive interview with each company. The result? A company profile that gives an inside look at the companies and founders shaping our future.
