At Will Reed, we believe early-stage founders are shaping our future - creating culture - and it’s our responsibility and privilege to support them as they courageously bring good things into the world. 

This Top 50 list is an homage to the creators, makers and shakers who are solving meaningful problems and doing it with deep regard for people and culture. 

While these 50 companies raised $230M+ in seed funding from some of the globe’s most high-profile investors, with a median valuation of $18M, this list was not determined solely by funding or revenue; nor is it a “pay-for-play” opportunity.* Will Reed received an in-depth application from each Founder and then met him/her via Zoom, learning more about his/her company mission, vision, approach to culture, near-term growth plans, etc.

Readers, let’s celebrate and support the ones forging our future. 

Cheers,

‍Hannah Yeargan
