Pain points this page is for

If these sound familiar, you're in the right place.

Inbound spikes destroy founder calendars

Every funding round or launch brings hundreds of applications. Manual triage burns weeks you do not have.

Enterprise tools are unaffordable

HireVue, Codility, Greenhouse — most enterprise hiring stacks start at $20K+/year for caps you cannot use.

Hiring quality is uneven without rubrics

Without structured evaluation, every interviewer raises their own bar. Hiring committees disagree on why.

Slow process loses top candidates

Strong candidates accept the first competitive offer. If your loop takes two weeks, you lose them.
