Our teams @tryramp & @MeritFirstUS hosted GTM Intelligence night this week in NYC, digging into how sales roles are evolving, how Ramp leverages AI across the team, and what it means for hiring and finding great talent.
Nothing beats having partners you genuinely enjoy working with. Our teams work incredibly hard, taking simple ideas very seriously (h/t Charlie Munger) - and it’s a blast to bring a big group together for a night like this.
@max11free - you’re a legend. Lucky to be able to learn from you.
Thanks to everyone who came out and made it possible. Let’s run it back!

awesome opportunity to work closely with @JTLonsdale & the @AmOptimistShow team
excited for folks to get an early look at a new assessment environment we built & being used for the role
optimists thrive on merit
We're hiring an intern. Work with @JTLonsdale & the team to help the optimists win.
And the best part: no application. Prove you're the best via our @MeritFirstUS test.
Who are we looking for? You're a fan of the pod, terminally online, and have sharp instincts for what matters -- and how to make people care.
What will you do? Create content and work with new AI tools to help win the battle of ideas online.

How do you quickly recognize top talent?
Zack’s contests at MeritFirst are used by top AI teams - such as Ramp, below - to attract and hire talent based on ability, not resumes.
Fascinating new tailored approach to talent and merit, only possible thanks to AI.
AI is fundamentally changing how teams operate. Designers are shipping code, GTM teams are building their own tools - people are taking on work that used to sit well outside the scope of their roles.
There’s a massive opportunity for high-agency people who keep learning and pushing to drive better outcomes for the business - and for the companies that can find those people and give them the room to run.
Very excited to dig into how @tryramp is doing this across their GTM team on Oct. 20 in NYC. We’ll talk about what they’ve tried, what has worked vs. what hasn't, and how they’re thinking about the people and skills they need as the work changes.

We’re looking to hire more top talent:
1) Social media writer - Help us win the war of ideas. You are an X-native patriot, intuit its molecular physics, write with a real voice, and care more about teaching and inspiring than chasing clicks.
2) Technical builder - we have a running list of media-adjacent companies and tools I've wanted to create for years. You build with AI tools daily, push the limits of what's newly possible, and are committed to the ideas that make our civilization great.
Email BuildWithJoe@8vc.com to apply; we’re only considering full-time hires with integrity who are eager to work hard.
America turns 250 this year, and it’s a great time to celebrate our exceptional civilization. Help us teach and build with ideas and principles to unite and inspire us all to make its next chapters even brighter 🇺🇸.

We’re hiring product engineers at @altitude.
We believe the next generation of companies will be built differently: smaller teams, faster cycles, deeper customer understanding and engineers who shape the product and the outcome.
At Altitude, every engineer is a product engineer.
You’ll work with our internal agentic framework to build the future of how businesses manage their money. We’re going to shift the center of gravity from traditional financial rails to newer, better ones.
We’re looking for people who want ownership, ambition and the chance to build something that becomes foundational infrastructure for modern companies.
If you’re not afraid of the climb - DM me with proof of work.
