Top Information Technology Startups in 2024

**Metaview** AI co-pilots will fundamentally rewire how work gets done. More flow-state, less toil. More insight, less guesswork. Human-centric, not process-centric. Metaview is building the AI co-pilot for hiring. At the moment, hiring is tedious, inefficient, and unreliable. But not for long. Metaview will handle the busywork, accelerate the workflows, and act as the thought partner for hiring the right candidate, quickly. We’ll make hiring feel like the high-leverage activity it is. Metaview is a startup founded by Siadhal and Shahriar after their experiences building products and teams at Uber and Palantir, and is backed by phenomenal investors in the US and Europe. Our starting point on this mission is an AI-powered note taker that gives interviewers superpowers: beautifully structured and summarized interview notes, pre-filled candidate feedback forms, and rich candidate write-ups generated in just a few clicks (if that). We’re already seeing that Metaview is becoming the center-of-gravity for the hiring process at customers like Brex, Robinhood, Genentech, and hundreds more. **The team** * We own our work from end-to-end. We work “towards goals”, not “on tasks”. We’re a team that knows the satisfaction of doing great work is only felt when it impacts the customer. * We optimize for rate-of-learning. We treat learning as the highest-form of currency for delivering future impact, and act accordingly: we run experiments, question thoroughly, and talk to customers over-and-over. We covet earned secrets. * We’re direct and actively-transparent in how we communicate and share progress. There’s no point painstakingly hiring a world-class team, if they are then uninformed or unaware of the context that matters. We’re a hybrid team with a HQ in London, UK.

We carry the power of the internet in our pockets and use it daily when hailing a taxi or listening to music over the cloud. Now with the emergence of blockchain, we can solve problems that were once deemed impossible. Namely, the problem of trust. One industry that struggles with this need for trust, is the retail value chain; currently unable to take advantage of the data goldmine it’s sitting on. Each party is holding onto its valuable piece of the puzzle, rendering it impossible to create a clear overall picture of behaviour that drives supply and demand. The Beam Platform utilises the power of internet, mobile phones and blockchain to connect all stakeholders of the retail value chain. By making use of a permissioned protocol that protects customers’ privacy, the platform generates behavioural insights which were not possible before. It’s further strengthened through a distributed network of participants who are incentivised to solve problems for the retail value chain.

dineoutwith.us is a cool new concept in dining – dinner parties at restaurants! The basics: We partner with best-of-breed restaurants to offer private dinner party experiences for groups of 6 or more people, who are invited by a friend, colleague or loved one to enjoy a special, custom menu created especially for dineoutwith.us. Our platform allows you to search for restaurants that have the availability at the date and time, and for the party size, that you need. Each restaurant offers several menus, and a choice of special “flourishes” to enrich the experience. We then take over and handle invitations, any special dietary needs that your guests request, communications and payment. It’s all designed so that you and your guests can do what you came for – have a great time over great food!

There’s an enormous opportunity to raise the bar on what seed stage investors provide for early stage founders. We only work with a limited number of portfolio companies so you can get the focused attention you need at this critical seed stage of development. John and Jyoti started Unusual Ventures by reconsidering everything about seed-stage investing born from their experience as a long-time investor and serial entrepreneur. From a place of empathy, they started Unusual Ventures to provide a full range of seed stage services that are specifically designed to meet the needs of early stage companies.
