Startups that have just raised their first big institutional round

I&#x27;m happy to introduce you all to Yodas Hyper - a list of silicon valley startups that are about to grow fast.<p>Working with hundreds of fellow developers we discovered a common trend: There are many talented individuals with deep desire to make a significant impact but struggle with how to put their desires into action. A common theme is the openness to take a small risk for an exciting mission and take a meaningful role in the creation of something new.<p>Hyper is a list that get updated on a weekly basis with companies that match the following criteria:<p>- Raised Series A funding - 25 employees or less - Based in San Francisco Bay Area<p>To dive deeper to the thinking process behind the criteria, check this post - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;labs.yodas.com&#x2F;the-story-behind-yodas-hyper-47d3151d04b1#.suubxn82q" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;labs.yodas.com&#x2F;the-story-behind-yodas-hyper-47d3151d...</a><p>Happy to answer any questions anyone has. Also, I would love to hear what kinds of companies lists you think would be interesting .. ?<p>Nir

&gt; Massive, multiplayer video game technology meets the indoor cycling community.<p>So that&#x27;s how episode 2 of Black Mirror started.

How does Verse differ from Venmo? I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s something substantial (due to the ~10MM in funding) but I couldn&#x27;t find it.<p>Edit: just found it - it&#x27;s pretty much the same thing but targeting the European market because Venmo hasn&#x27;t expanded there.

While this list made me fear for the future of humanity, it also made me click over to the Crunchbase list, which is more useful and less soul-crushing.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.crunchbase.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;search&#x2F;funding_rounds" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.crunchbase.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;search&#x2F;funding_rounds</a>

Wow...$1499.00 for a „tea infuser with advanced algorithms“ (Teforia). I love my Darjeeling tea very much...but...not sure if that much...

No matter if the predictions are correct or not. This is an clever way to look for startups to join as an early employee (if you want to do that is a different discussion).<p>@creator: i would also include the next round afterwards for more risk aware people. Alternatively you could look into size of funding vs team size.

This reminds me of The Breakout List <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;breakoutlist.com&#x2F;q2-2015" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;breakoutlist.com&#x2F;q2-2015</a>, which has unfortunately not been updated since 2015. The filters were broader than the ones you picked: geography was US (though predominantly SF and the bay area), and they focused on companies&#x27; revenue run rate, which I would favor versus receiving money from investors.

Half of thay sounds too niche to grow, the other half too vague to ensure success.
