Don't apply. Buildsomething they can't ignore.
We research 2,271 startups and turn what we find into a portfolio project only you could have built for them — so you show up already having solved their problem. 3,623 open roles are live right now.
Three steps, one goal: get remembered.
Find the gap
We research thousands of startups (job posts, engineering blogs, GitHub, founder interviews) and surface a specific problem worth solving, along with why fixing it matters to them.
Northwind never follows up when a shipment response is delayed — shippers are left guessing whether their freight is even on track.
A shipper who feels ignored books their next load with a competitor. At ~15% churn tied to silence alone, closing that gap protects an estimated $400K+in freight revenue a year — retention they're not currently tracking.
Build the proof
A guided Claude/Codex prompt walks you through building the fix, step by step, while we monitor progress, review the diff, and leave feedback until it's ready to ship.
You're building a proof-of-concept for Northwind Freight, a logistics startup. Build a dashboard that flags any shipment with no carrier status update in the last 24 hours, surfaces the shipper's contact and last known location, and drafts a one-click follow-up email. Use Next.js and Postgres, log every flagged shipment to a delay_events table, and write unit tests for the delay-detection logic before wiring up the UI...
Nice start — add a retry state for failed status checks before this ships.
Auto-detected from your repoSend it
We draft the founder outreach around what you actually built: short, human, and impossible to mistake for a generic application.
Hey — quick one. I noticed Northwind doesn't send an update when a shipment response is delayed, so shippers are often left guessing where their freight stands. I got curious and built a small proof of concept for how that could work. Take fifteen minutes and see it live demo — would love to hear what you think.
Let happy builders convince the rest.
“I came from a school nobody in Silicon Valley had heard of. I had to figure out, the hard way, what it actually takes to land a role at a top startup — so I turned it into a strategy anyone can use. It's built entirely around initiative, which is exactly what SF's best teams are looking for.”
