California isn’t just a hub for startups; it’s the beating heart of the global innovation economy. A recent Crunchbase analysis shows that California startups have raised over $ 110 billion in venture funding through July 2025. In the first half of this year 68% or nearly two-thirds of all U.S. investment originated from the Golden State.

That’s not just dominance, that’s proof the West Coast is still where the future gets built. At Ursus, we’ve known this from the beginning. This is where our story began.

Ten years ago, we started with a clear vision:
👉 Connect world-class talent with the most innovative companies in the world.

From the start, we saw the challenge: startups scaling fast, enterprises reinventing themselves, and a talent market that couldn’t keep up.
The solution wasn’t just staffing. It was understanding the speed, culture, and ambition of West Coast innovation, and matching it with people who thrive in that environment.

🦾 Why the West Coast Wins

The West Coast and, in particular, California’s dominance isn’t an accident. It’s fueled by:
·     AI and deep-tech pioneers
·     World-class universities & research institutions
·     A culture of risk-taking & collaboration
·     The world’s strongest venture capital networks

🔑 Where Ursus Fits In: We’re not bystanders, we’re part of the ecosystem.

✅ Direct access to curated, elite West Coast talent
✅ Deep roots and relationships within the venture and startup community
✅ Built and operating with the same speed, flexibility, and ambition as our clients

Ten years ago, we believed the right people, in the right place, could drive the future of technology. Today, with California cementing its role as the nation’s VC epicenter, that belief has never been more relevant.  We’re proud of our West Coast roots, our decade-long journey, and the role we’ve played in helping the world’s most innovative companies scale.

And we’re just getting started.⭐
