Every week we highlight new funding successes from companies bringing about change in their industries.  We amplify the voice of companies delivering on tech innovation whilst also utilizing remote work, or being clear on the importance of D&I to their brand. All ingredients that talent.ai focus on when selecting the best startup funding rounds of the last 7 days. 

We see these journeys as an inspiration, offering insights to other founders, startup funding rounds and innovators looking to evolve their stories into something extraordinary.  We know the hard work behind these accomplishments and consistently seek to recognise and applaud those involved from leadership, founders, and their entire teams. 

Congratulations to all the founders and teams!
