At Employbl we've built a database of over ten thousand tech companies and startups. I recently moved to San Francisco and like to keep up with what's happening in the startup scene. The below table is of 132 early stage startups that have raised "Pre Seed", "Seed" or "Series A" fundraising rounds in 2021. These "rounds" refers to when the founders of a company sells partial ownership of the business to Venture Capitalists. The founder can raise more money at a later date, sell the company or take it to public capital markets in the form of an IPO. Some of the earliest fundraising rounds are Seed and Series A so that's what I'm focusing on here. Many of these companies are smaller (less than one hundred people) and founded within the past few years, or even this year! All of them are or at least were headquartered in the city of San Francisco.
Employbl members can login to the dashboard to further filter this list by job listing type, Venture Capital investors, company founded year and more. Just use the "Early Stage Startups in San Francisco - 2021" company collection to quickly access the data in the Employbl dashboard.
Without further ado here's the list of early stage San Francisco startups ordered by the largest fundraising rounds at the top:
