Ranking in descending order of AI-estimated valuation, based on public information, following a published method, with no human intervention on the order. Valuation ranges are indicative editorial estimates: neither a financial valuation, nor an offer, nor investment advice. Only the market sets a company’s value, through a funding round or a sale. Edition 0: produced by Claude (Anthropic); a consensus of several AI models will apply in a future edition. Eligibility: at least $1M raised including one equity round, non-listed company, main activity in this segment (software and marketplaces that help employers find, assess and hire candidates).

Invest in recruiting, together

Uback aggregates investment intentions from business angels, family offices, corporates and sector specialists worldwide. Every ranked company already has professional investors on its cap table, who have negotiated a shareholders’ agreement: you don’t start from a blank page.

Strength in numbers

Alone, a small ticket opens no doors. Together, Backers carry weight.

Declare an interest

In this segment, with a ticket range, and if you wish a preferred company in it. Paid, to show you are serious; valid for life, and movable to another pool until its pool is passed to the partner.

Critical mass is reached

When the pool’s combined amount reaches its critical mass, a floor amount estimated by the AI, the pool is passed to the licensed partner, who presents this demand to the company.

The licensed partner structures

If the company’s expectations and the Backers’ converge, the partner builds a transaction and presents it directly to the Backers concerned.

Closing

Capital raise or sale of existing shares: small tickets are pooled in a common vehicle set up by the licensed partner. Each Backer decides whether to take part.

Uback does not advise, does not negotiate, collects nothing. Each transaction is run by the licensed partner of the company’s country, under the law that governs its shares.
