founders: getting up to $1M in funding via @speedrun is actually the easiest part of the journey - as you start to build your product, you'll need to build your team... and I have some bad news: recruiting sucks. Most experienced founders will tell you that they spent at least half their time in the early days trying to woo early missionaries to join their cause. Your options at the earliest stages aren't great: • Agencies are expensive + generally have perverse incentives • You could do all the recruiting... but it's often too time-intensive to do effectively • Hiring an internal recruiter doesn't make sense yet... • Job postings... welcome to the nightmare of AI-generated apps! I want to give you a better option. Our goal as the Speedrunun talent team: lend you our brand and hiring prowess. Not just hollow words and advice... because advice is cheap. Sourced candidates are not. Our team of internal recruiters spends every single day cultivating relationships with world-class talent from the most heavily in-demand functional backgrounds (AI, ML, Full Stack Eng, Design Eng, Designers, etc), and then we curate and share that talent with founders across the portfolio. We're on track this year to directly place ~150 hires into speedrun portfolio companies. No fee. No perverse incentives. Just a purely aligned desire with the founders to get them exactly what they are searching for. One day there will be a solo-founder unicorn, and all this hiring drudgery might go away. Until then, you're going to have to build your team - so let our team (@nazzari, @thetalentcarver, @joegarciaisme ) help you build yours. APPLY TO SPEEDRUN >>> bit.ly/3UawfBA
