The Next Uber: 3 Startups Hiring

Most people look for safe jobs. If you want upside, this is my weekly series The Next

Uber—startups I’d actually work for, equity included, from a former VC. First: Monarch.

Basically Mint, but better—and built by ex-Mint employees. When Mint shut down in 2024,

Monarch grew almost 20x. They just raised $75 million and they’re fully remote.

Second: Rillit. AI for messy accounting and financial ops—something I deal with every day.

Backed by Sequoia, over 200 customers, 5x revenue growth, and a $25 million raise.

Hiring remote and in-person. Third: Palm Street. Live shopping for rare plants and

niche items. A lot of these fail—but Andreessen Horowitz doubled down after Whatnot.
