We are thrilled to announce $36M in funding, including our $30M Series A led by Sequoia Capital. Coatue, NFDG, Y Combinator, Lux Capital, and BOND also participated.
The financing follows a previously unannounced $6M Seed round led by NFDG.

Why we're building Juicebox
The race for talent has never been more intense.
In the last year, AI labs have started to look like star-studded sports teams. Billions of dollars are being poured into securing the best talent. These eye-popping figures reflect a deeper truth: human ingenuity is the ultimate scarce resource in the age of AI.
That’s why recruiting is a zero sum game. You either compete, or you lose.
We call it the talent war.
Juicebox is on a mission to help teams win the talent war.
Recruiting is shifting from manual, repetitive tasks to AI-native workflows. For every search, Juicebox scores tens of thousands of profiles, assessing candidates against your criteria in real-time. From there, Juicebox’s AI handles outreach and engagement.
For a fully autonomous experience, Juicebox Agents automate that entire workflow. After an initial calibration, Agents run search, assessment, and outreach for you - 24/7.
What's next
Today, teams at Ramp, Quora, and Perplexity use Juicebox to power their hiring, alongside 2,500+ other customers, ranging from early stage founders to Fortune 500s.
We now power thousands of searches each day, with revenue growing >10x over the past year.
"Juicebox is the first sourcing tool that I’ve seen that adds value. We find candidates in half the time, and they're the best candidates we found vs other platforms."
Rich Adao, Head of Talent at Anyscale
The new funding will be used to scale our team, invest in the Juicebox Agent, and continue building the future of AI-powered recruiting.
We are grateful for our team, customers, and partners. And we can’t wait to show you what the future has in store - starting with our launch week next week.
