Stealth Hunter

Stealth Hunter identifies recently funded startups using SEC data, before they make any public announcement.

Finding your next role at a startup is harder than it looks. Most companies only post jobs after they've raised a round, gotten settled, and decided what they need. By the time a job is posted, it will get hundreds of applicants. Stealth startups are an even harder problem: they don't announce themselves at all.

Stealth Hunter gives you a timing advantage. When a company raises money, they're required to file a Form D with the SEC. That filing is public record. Stealth Hunter monitors these filings continuously and surfaces companies that have recently raised capital, often weeks or months before any press release or job board posting.

This gives job seekers two concrete advantages:

• Identify startups about to hire. A fresh raise almost always precedes a hiring push. Getting in front of a company at that moment, before the flood of applicants, is a meaningful advantage.
• Discover stealth companies. If a startup hasn't announced itself yet, you can't find it on LinkedIn or AngelList. SEC filings are one of the few ways to surface these companies at all and match them against your own background and interests.

Stealth Hunter is currently a free newsletter, growing weekly. A paid tier is in the works, which will include real-time access to new filings, personalized notifications for startups relevant to your experience, and additional tools for exploring data around recently funded companies and their founders.
