★ Extremely restrained fundraising = minimal dilution● Hiring

TL;DR中文

这个list里最反常识的一家。 22个人，融资不到$100万，做到约$100M年化收入。Cursor、Notion、Linear、Anthropic、Ramp、Grammarly都是客户。如果你想找"极致人才密度 + 极高人均产出"的团队，很难找到比这更纯粹的样本。

Sponsorship

✓ Publicly verifiable · government data

H-1B recent sponsorship activity Latest

DOL LCA Disclosure Data · FY2024 – FY2026 Q2 ↗

No LCA records in FY2024 – FY2026 Q2 — no public H-1B sponsorship activity recently. Confirm directly in interviews, or ask insiders in the group.

H-1B approval history

USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub · FY2021–2023 ↗

No approvals in FY2021–2023. Most companies on the list were founded after 2022, so missing early records is normal — it doesn't mean they don't sponsor today. Confirm in interviews, or ask insiders in the group.

PERM green cards

DOL PERM Disclosure Data · FY2025 – FY2026 Q2（至2026年3月） ↗

No records for this company in the imported PERM data. Green-card processes usually start once a company matures.
