Many great sales careers in tech have been built by spotting the winners early on.
​

You know, the ones with huge addressable markets, painkiller products, and a leadership team that knows how to scale.

​

For the Sales Players looking for growth opportunities right now, this one's for you...

Below is a curated list I put together of 20 Series B+ SaaS/AI startups hiring Account Executives, SDRs, and other GTM roles right now.
