| Bolster Raises $11M for its On-Demand Marketplace for Executive Level Talent for Startups Posted: 13 Jan 2022 12:27 PM PST One of the most critical factors for startups to grow, thrive, and scale is their ability to attract the right talent. The effects of the pandemic, the Great Resignation, and a host of other factors have made the competition for candidates more intense than ever before. Emerging companies are pitted against more established, larger companies that have greater resources and ability to compensate. Bolster is a talent marketplace for startups that matches them with executive talent for fractional, interim, advisory, board, and full-time roles. Unlike other recruitment platforms, Bolster works directly with a founder-centric framework that looks at recruiting as a part of leadership and company development versus merely hiring resources, offering software-driven mentorship modules. With the flexibility in the types of roles that it covers, the platform enables CEOs to quickly and cost-effectively implement the resources required to scale. The company offers a number of different options for companies looking for talent ranging from a free self-search to full-time sourcing that comes in at $20K per hire. Since its launch in the Fall of 2020, Bolster has worked with 1000+ leadership teams and boasts 7000+ registered senior executives looking for their next opportunity. AlleyWatch caught up with CEO and Cofounder Matt Blumberg to learn more about how the founding team's experience with Return Path laid the foundation for Bolster, the state of the startup recruitment market, the company's strategic plans, latest round of funding from investors that include Foundry, High Alpha, Union Square Ventures, Costanoa Venture Capital, Capital Factory, and Alumni Ventures. |

| Fable Raises $9M for its Direct-to-Consumer Pet Product Brand Posted: 13 Jan 2022 04:57 AM PST It's estimated that Americans spent $110B in 2021 on their pets. Given this massive market, there has been very little in terms of innovation and design incorporated into pet products. Typical pet products tend to look sterile and more likely to be found in a hospital than in someone's home. Fable is a direct-to-consumer pet product brand that prioritizes innovation and aesthetics that fit into the modern era. The company offers a line of versatile pet products including the company's signature Crate ($395), a modern crate that pets will love that doubles as a side table to fit seamlessly into any decor. Founded by a brother and sister duo in 2018, Fable plans to expand into retail along with expanding its product line. AlleyWatch Fable Cofounder and CEO Jeremy Canade (ex-Jet) to learn more about the team's vision for the business, the company's strategic plans, and latest funding round from investors that include14W, Female Founders Fund and Slow Ventures. |

| Posted: 12 Jan 2022 07:07 AM PST It's becoming pretty clear we're not going to be able to raise our next round of funding. I feel like no one is giving any clear direction about what to do from here. Do we keep waiting? Shut it down? Why doesn't anyone ever talk about this? |
