Hiring Tech Talent Is Broken.
Early-stage founders face a unique set of challenges when building their engineering team.
Time you don't have
Screening resumes and running interviews burns weeks you should spend building product.
Bad signal-to-noise ratio
AI has flooded the market with polished resumes that say nothing about actual capability.
Expensive mis-hires
One wrong hire at the seed stage can cost 6+ months of runway and team momentum.
No technical depth in recruiters
Traditional recruiters can't tell a strong engineer from a keyword-stuffed profile.
