We are optimistic that by assembling the world's largest dataset of venture-backed companies, Investors and Executives will dramatically improve their decision making using Termina's Quantitative Diligence.

Termina was incubated as the initial diligence technology at Tribe Capital, a $1.9B venture fund, and is also backed by Sequoia's Scout program, X&, and Trenches Capital. We have largely bootstrapped through our early growth, and we are profitable.

  • Using LLMs to auto-label data and ingest it to our ETLs
  • Supporting Kraken's $1.5B acquisition of Ninjatrader
  • Onboarding new clients including a $20B family office and supporting / enhancing their workflows

We’re hiring a Senior / Staff Backend Engineer to build scalable systems that model product-market fit and power high-stakes decision-making for top Venture Investors. You’ll tackle the unique challenge of creating infrastructure to ingest all data from all startups. If you’re excited by high-impact, performance-driven engineering, join us to build the future of investing.
