Public company, workplace, funding, and market signals
Updated Jul 29, 2026
Serra is a YC-backed San Francisco startup founded in 2023 that now publicly presents itself as a hiring platform for skilled trades and frontline work, helping employers post roles, match vetted candidates, schedule interviews, verify credentials, and pay workers. Older YC/Product Hunt materials show an earlier recruiting-search product, so the company appears to have pivoted over time.
