What Juicebox does

Juicebox (legally Juicebox App, Inc.) is a San Francisco-based AI recruiting platform founded in 2023 by David Paffenholz and Ishan Gupta. The company provides an LLM-powered candidate sourcing and engagement platform built around three core product pillars: PeopleGPT (a natural language search engine covering 800M+ global profiles aggregated from 30+ public data sources), a built-in CRM for managing candidate relationships and outreach campaigns, and Juicebox Agents (autonomous AI recruiting agents that source candidates, evaluate fit, and run outreach 24/7). The platform differentiates itself through outbound, AI-led talent discovery rather than traditional inbound applicant matching, reporting customer outcomes of up to 90% reduction in sourcing time, 5x recruiter efficiency gains, and 75% reductions in time-to-fill.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining self-serve product-led growth (free trial at app.juicebox.ai with 60-second signup) and enterprise field sales (Business and Enterprise plans with SOC 2 Type II certification, SSO, and dedicated support). Pricing is subscription-based across Growth, Business, and Enterprise tiers with custom annual contracts at the top end. Target customers span fast-growing technology companies, Fortune 100 brands, and recruiting agencies, with named adoption at Perplexity, Cursor, Ramp, Quora, Cognition, OpenAI, and dozens of mid-market startups. The platform integrates with 41 ATS systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Bullhorn) and 21 CRMs.

Juicebox has raised $116 million in total venture capital across multiple rounds, most recently an $80 million Series B at an $850 million post-money valuation led by DST Global in March 2026, with Sequoia Capital, Coatue, Y Combinator, NFDG, and Verified Capital also participating. The company reports $10M+ ARR at Series A and has publicly stated ARR tripled since then, serving 5,000+ customers globally. International expansion is underway with a London office planned for 2026.
