Despite the AI hype cycle dominating headlines, software-as-a-service companies continued raising significant capital in 2026. Four companies with 6,400+ SaaS peers on Employbl collectively raised $395M and are all growing their teams right now.
Which SaaS companies raised venture capital in 2026?
- Sigma Computing — $80M Series E (May 2026), cloud analytics, 71 open roles, San Francisco
- Hightouch — $150M Series D (Apr 2026), data activation, 66 open roles, San Francisco
- Coder — $90M Series C (Apr 2026), developer environments platform, 18 open roles, Austin
- FieldGuide — $75M Series C (Feb 2026), assurance and advisory software, 29 open roles, San Francisco
What unites these four companies is category definition: each is the clear leader in a specific SaaS category rather than a generalist platform. Cloud analytics, data activation, developer environments, and audit software are all relatively narrow wedges that expand into larger workflow ownership over time. Investors are still willing to pay up for category leadership.
