Sequoia Leads $30 Million Series A for Juicebox, Maker of PeopleGPT

Juicebox plans to scale its engineering team following rapid, mostly word-of-mouth adoption.

Overview

  • The company disclosed $36 million in total funding, with the $30 million round led by Sequoia partner David Cahn.
  • PeopleGPT uses large language models to interpret professional profiles, personal websites, and public data to surface qualified candidates beyond keyword matching.
  • Juicebox reports more than 2,500 customers and over $10 million in annual recurring revenue, achieved with a small team and no formal sales organization.
  • Its agent can automatically email identified candidates and schedule initial calls, shifting recruiter time toward relationship building.
  • Customers include OpenAI, Ramp, Perplexity, and Cognition, while established vendors such as Eightfold are rolling out similar AI search features.
