Otta raises $20m Series A from Tiger Global Management to scale operations
Tiger Global Management led the Series A round to support international expansion and product growth.
Otta operates a candidate-first job platform that curates technology roles and matches professionals with employers. The platform provides transparent company insights, such as salary data, diversity statistics, and employee reviews.
Otta has secured $20m in a Series A funding round led by Tiger Global Management. The financing includes participation from existing institutional backers LocalGlobe and Founder Collective, alongside fourteen angel investors.
The capital will be deployed to accelerate international expansion, particularly scaling commercial operations in the United States, and to double the size of the product and engineering team in London.
The platform has experienced rapid growth since its launch, scaling daily application volumes significantly and seeing strong adoption across both British and American markets.
From the founder
"When we started Otta, people told us job search was soul-crushing. Recruitment felt like it was stuck in the classifieds era. We believe there’s a different way, and we call it candidate-first job search. It’s a new category that flips industry dynamics on its head. Candidates are prioritised, rather than treated like second-class citizens, and this attracts the best talent to our product"
Sam Franklin
Co-founder and CEO at Otta
Investor perspective
"We backed Sam and the team when Otta was just a vision, and since then the business has seen great traction with candidates and companies alike. With the climate emergency and social justice top of mind, Otta has a huge opportunity to connect a generation of thoughtful job seekers with mission-driven companies. Now is the decade to bring a truly candidate-first job search experience to the masses."
