What Makes Me Special: I've got the technical skills, people skills, and industry knowledge that differentiate a successful startup founder from a run-of-the-mill programmer. I love getting to represent my company at conferences, during demos, and in cold outreach, then coming home to grind bug fixes and feature implementations until the sun comes up. I've got the tenacity and dedication your team needs.
Who You Are: A startup in any stage from pre-seed to scale that has a killer product and needs a dedicated technical founder. You have a tight knit team that values one another and helps each another where needed. You're humble, confident, and don't need to one-up each other for the sake of ego. "Don't be evil" and putting people over profit are core tenets of your business model.
