The median company has 54 employees, and the largest single band of companies sits between 20 and 49 people. Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York are where most of these teams are based, which lines up with where Bonfire has historically concentrated.\n\nThat size matters for how you read the hiring numbers below. A company with 50 employees posting even a handful of roles is making a real bet, not just topping off a team." }, { "heading": "Engineering and sales grew at the same pace", "body": "Over the past twelve months, 38 of these 91 companies posted roles, generating 517 postings between them. Software engineer and account executive were the two roles that showed up most often, each appearing at 30% of these companies. That's the clearest signal in the portfolio: product build-out and go-to-market push are happening together, not one before the other.\n\nDemand generation, customer success and product management each came up at about 18-19% of companies, suggesting a second tier of teams investing in growth motion and post-sale retention alongside the core build-and-sell functions." }, { "heading": "Finance is the one to watch", "body": "The fastest-growing role in the portfolio was finance. It's a small group, just 3 companies and 6 roles, but the recent share hit 50%, meaning most of that hiring happened in the most recent stretch tracked. For a portfolio this size, that's a quiet tell that a handful of companies are building out finance functions as they scale past the early stage." }, { "heading": "AI hiring is real but narrow", "body": "AI/ML engineering hiring showed up at 9% of these companies: Jeeva.ai, Ranger AI, Orbifold AI, Outreach, Destro, Katalyze AI, Alvys and Pendo.io. It's not nothing, Ranger AI and Jeeva.ai each posted 6 AI roles, but it hasn't spread portfolio-wide. Most companies in Bonfire's book are still hiring for traditional engineering and go-to-market roles first." }, { "heading": "Who's hiring right now", "body": "Eight companies did most of the heavy lifting over the past year: Alvys, Branch, ChowNow, Destro, DISQO, HONK, Invoca and mPulse each hit the 20-role tracking cap, meaning their real hiring volume is likely higher than what's shown. ChowNow's top hiring area was sales leadership, Destro's was talent and recruiting, and the rest leaned toward software engineering or customer success.\n\nIn just the last 60 days, 24 companies posted 158 roles. Account executive and software engineer again led the volume, and recent postings include a Senior Sales Operations Manager at Outreach, an Enterprise SDR at Rockbot, a Staff Product Designer at Invoca and a Founding Recruiter role at Destro." }, { "heading": "Leadership roles and signals worth flagging", "body": "Two companies posted for revenue and marketing leadership roles in recent months: Cube posted for a VP of Revenue, and Fama Technologies posted for a VP of Marketing. Separately, the portfolio saw 10 funding events and 9 acquisitions over the past 180 days, including Destro's $8M raise and Fuel50 naming a new CEO after being acquired by Phoenix Education Partners. Twenty-two AI-related initiatives were also logged across the portfolio in that window, a wider signal than the direct AI hiring numbers alone would suggest.\n\nFor next quarter, the companies worth watching are the ones already at the hiring cap (Alvys, Branch, ChowNow, Destro, DISQO, HONK, Invoca, mPulse): their true hiring pace is undercounted here, so a fresh read would likely show more volume than what's captured." } ], "faq": [ { "q": "Which Bonfire Ventures portfolio companies are hiring the most right now?", "a": "In the last 60 days, Outreach, Archer Education, Pendo.io, Cube, Rockbot, ChowNow, Raken, DISQO, Destro, Invoca, Branch and Orbifold AI all had active postings.

Live job board reads haven't run for this panel yet, so current open-role counts aren't available; the hiring figures above reflect the last twelve months of postings (517 postings across 38 companies) and the last 60 days specifically where noted. Twelve-month postings are capped at the 20 most recent per company, and 14 companies hit that cap, so their true hiring volume is likely higher than shown and earlier quarters are undercounted. Leadership seats (CRO and other revenue roles) have not been mapped for this portfolio, so nothing beyond the specific roles posted can be said about who holds them or whether they've changed." },
