Air Street Capital Leads $40M Series A Into Jack & Jill's Dual-Agent Hiring Marketplace

Jack & Jill is building a dual-agent hiring marketplace for talent acquisition, a platform organized around AI-supported interactions between employers and candidates. The company is going after the enterprise hiring market, pitching itself as an AI-native alternative to conventional recruiting marketplaces and job-board models — a segment where incumbents have long relied on search, listings and manual coordination between the two sides of a hire.

Air Street Capital led a $40M Series A into the company, announced Sept. 15, 2026. The round is the first and only financing tracked for Jack & Jill, bringing its disclosed funding to $40M. Beyond Air Street Capital as lead, the investor list was not disclosed.

Jack & Jill is headquartered in San Francisco, CA. The company describes its approach as a "dual-agent" marketplace, a framing that positions software agents on both sides of the hiring equation rather than automating only the recruiter's workflow. That distinction matters in a category where most tools have concentrated on sourcing, screening or scheduling from the employer's vantage point, leaving candidates to navigate conventional application funnels.

The round points to continued investor appetite for AI systems applied directly to recruiting and hiring workflows — a market that sits at the intersection of enterprise software and labor. Hiring remains one of the largest line items in corporate spend, and it is also one of the most resistant to full automation, given that the final decision involves judgment on both sides. Whether agent-based marketplaces can improve matching quality at enterprise scale is the open question the category is still answering.

For Jack & Jill, the $40M provides a substantial first institutional war chest relative to a single-round company. The company has not disclosed how it intends to deploy the proceeds, and no valuation, headcount or revenue figures were included in the announcement.
