Uber. Slack. GitLab. Nest. Flatiron Health. One Medical.

All GV-backed. All household names. GV has been the first institutional check into some of the most consequential companies of the last two decades. Right now, 20 of their portfolio companies are actively hiring.

I track startups worth watching in AngelsRound — the kind investors follow before they break out. Turns out those are also the best ones to join.
