When we first heard about Juicebox, an early-stage founder told us he was “obsessed.” We soon discovered he wasn’t alone. Thousands of recruiters, including Sequoia’s own team, had already adopted the platform, fueling viral growth.

Part of Juicebox’s appeal is that it is useful for companies of all sizes. Early stage startup founders find Juicebox and use it as a default, day-one part of their tech stack. At later stage companies like Ramp and Perplexity, expert recruiters bring Juicebox into the organization to amplify their impact. And finally within big companies, which often have dozens of dedicated sourcers as well as external contingent recruiters, Juicebox agents become just another member of the team, adding to the overall hiring funnel.

Juicebox’s growth has been remarkable. With just four people, the team bootstrapped to $1M in ARR. Today they’ve scaled to $10M and 2,500 customers. One customer told us they built their entire 20-person team on Juicebox; another said they flipped their recruiting day from 80% sourcing to 80% engaging with candidates.

Juicebox’s mission—to help their customers win the talent war—is more important than ever right now. Ask any founder or recruiter and you’ll hear the same story: nights spent sifting through hundreds of profiles, hours lost sending cold outreach and too many great candidates slipping through the cracks. Juicebox flips that script. By automating the grind—from finding to qualifying to engaging—it lets hiring teams spend their time where it matters most: building relationships with the people they want to hire.

How does it work? Juicebox scans thousands of profiles, scores candidates against pre-set criteria and recommends the best matches, all while handling outreach and coordination. Recruiters and hiring managers can run it in Autopilot mode or Agent mode, making it a productivity multiplier for teams of any size. Unlike legacy recruiting platforms that simply organize resumes, Juicebox actively sources, qualifies and engages candidates on your behalf, making it the first true AI recruiting partner.

Our conviction in Juicebox is driven not just by the product, but also by the razor sharp team making this all possible. Founders David and Ishan are both immigrants, David from Germany and Ishan from India. Driven by their own frustrations with traditional recruiting, David and Ishan spent years iterating and became deep experts in both talent workflows and LLMs. Their product reflects a deep level of maturity, earned through their own gritty journey, grinding on this problem for years.

As the Juicebox team and product continue to grow, we’re proud to lead their Series A and support them on this journey. If you’re excited to shape the future of recruiting, Juicebox is hiring—learn more here.
