## Current Status Overlay

| Signal | Current Read | Source Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Operating status | Current operating status not verified | TechCrunch described Evergreen as a stealth jobs platform for the unemployed in 2020; SEC Form D filings show 2020 and 2021 equity financing; the old portal does not return a clean live response in this pass. |
| Headcount signal | No current headcount signal found | See source audit and status CSV. |
| Reference qualification | Funding filed, current operating proof missing | Strong macro/future-of-work problem framing, but the profile should stay out of successful-benchmark recommendations until current product, customers, and headcount are verified. |
| Confidence | Not yet verified for successful-reference qualification | Status checked 2026-06-21. |

## Executive Synthesis

Strong macro/future-of-work problem framing, but the profile should stay out of successful-benchmark recommendations until current product, customers, and headcount are verified.

## Funding Events

| Year | Event | Amount | Notes |
|---:|---|---:|---|
| 2020 | Form D | $2.4M | $2.4M total amount sold, first sale March 26, 2020. |
| 2021 | Form D | $2.5M | $2.499996M total amount sold, first sale May 7, 2021. |

## Best Reference Uses

- Problem setup around job loss as a traumatic, under-supported life event.
- Why-now framing around automation and employer-employee relationship changes.
- B2B2C wedge: employers fund transition support for former employees.
- Useful cautionary example for HR tech that depends on employer procurement during layoffs.

## Watch Outs

- Massive unemployment and automation claims need a tighter wedge and buyer budget proof.
- Employer willingness to pay for former-employee support needs evidence.
- Current operating status and headcount are not verified.
- SEC filings confirm capital sold, but investor names are not public in the extracted source.
