growth at @getserval

[Jay Ma @Doudoujay]

Anthropic's IPO is set to mint thousands of new millionaires. One of the most underrated ways to build generational wealth is being a founding engineer.

If you want to be the next, you need to keep tabs on which startups are growing fast.

A ton of SF startups just raised and are hiring right now.

I mapped ~15 of them.

Street-address offices in the core cluster are pinned; more that also raised and are hiring are listed alongside.

The typical pattern involves a talent dense team raising money, then posting a bunch of open roles as they race to get top talent.

A few that jumped out:
- Cognition AI ($2B Series E)
- Harvey ($550M Series H)
- Databricks ($5B round)
- Together AI, Bedrock Robotics, Serval

If you are hunting for a Founding Engineer seat in SF, start here.

Btw - we are hiring a founding engineer at Hellyeah AI too.

Starting today, every engineer who joins Serval begins with a weeklong, $10,000 paid vacation. We’re building the next generational company. We need generational talent to see it through.

Our mission has always been to empower people across every team to turn their understanding of a problem into working, trustworthy automations. Making that function inside the largest enterprises takes world-class engineering.

That’s what you’d be joining us to do. There are foundational decisions still to make, and the engineers making them will shape the future of how big we can build this company.

We want you to arrive rested and ready to do the best work of your life. So your first week is a chance to get away.

And if a @getserval employee refers you, both you and that employee receive $30,000, on top of the vacation.

Come build with us: https://t.co/OjUgQgjeM0

we've raised again, we're doubling ARR every quarter, and we're having fun while doing it. come join us!

[Jake Stauch @jakeserval]

We raised a $150M Series C at a $3B valuation, led by @sequoia. Our third round in 12 months, bringing our total funding to $277M.

Our team has grown 10x in the last 12 months. We now serve Fox Corporation, WPP, Live Nation, Lucid Motors, and Ramp, and many of them are fully replacing legacy platforms with @getserval.

AI coding tools have transformed how engineers work. Serval brings that same power to every team, so anyone can build governed automations across the systems they already use.

We’re hiring 500+ people over the next year and expanding in San Francisco, NYC, London, Austin, and beyond.

If you’re down to take on legacy enterprise systems and transform how teams work, my cofounder @AlexAtServal and I would love to meet you.

It’s Serval now.

[Serval @getserval]

BREAKING: Serval has raised $150M at a $3B valuation, led by @sequoia.

You were made to build things. We made it easy.

AI gave engineers the power to describe a need and ship it immediately. We’re bringing that power to teams across the enterprise.

Now, everyone from IT to HR, legal, finance, and beyond can turn plain language into secure, governed automations to tackle everything from simple service requests to complex process layers.

And word is getting out. We're grateful to serve the likes of @tryramp, @WeAreLegora, @vercel, and Fox Corporate, along with two of the Fortune 20 who joined the party in the last 6 months.

Now, we’re hiring 500+ people across every function while opening offices in New York City, London, and Austin over the next year.

Legacy software wasn’t built for the AI era. It’s Serval now.

Special thanks to @sequoia for leading the round, to @eladgil, Evantic, @firstround, @generalcatalyst, @Redpoint, and Tenacity for doubling down, and @conviction and @HeadlineVC for joining.

@semantic_mess @getserval tough

@jakeserval hmmm 👀🫖

[sarah guo @saranormous]

Super impressive to see Serval, at <3YO, do full rip and replaces for ITSM, a key “system of record” in big companies

In doing diligence, I called an old friend who leads technology at a finserv firm. He was all-in

IT wants codegen! And the agility that comes with it

[Redpoint @Redpoint]

We were early believers in @getserval and the team @jakeserval has built. This Halloween, we decided cheering from the sidelines wasn’t enough.

Congratulations to Jake Stauch, @AlexAtServal, @TatianaBirgisso, and the entire Serval team on raising a $150M Series C at a $3B valuation, their third round in 12 months.
