  • You want to work where you can take a big swing at building something big while maximizing your personal growth.

Why you might not be excited:

  • If you only want to tell people

  • You prefer company practices with 100% built out process for every little detail.

  • You prefer static over dynamic. Projects, priorities, and roles will adapt to your skill set and your goals. Though we have real paying customers, and a playbook for growth, we proudly remain an early stage startup.
