Re:Ask HN: Advice for moving on from a failed startup? on Saturday November 13, 2021 @09:50PM (#29215041)
Find an early, exciting startup that's growing fast! As your post suggests, personal motivation often correlates with a startup's momentum. When the team is consistently winning, the effort feels worthwhile. :)

Plus your experience from the last few years would be really valuable to other early-stage startups, and enable you to grow quickly as a leader.

I'm the CTO at Zippity, a seed-stage SaaS business. We recently got new funding and are hiring 3 more software developers (doubling our team). https://www.getzippity.com/careers

Feel free to email me, to hear more or just to chat. Email in my profile.

Zippity | Product Manager, Software Developer | Boston | Full-time | Remote (permanent) | getzippity.com

Zippity builds customer-centric software for onsite service providers. We are starting with mobile car detailers and mobile tire shops, and quickly moving beyond the automotive industry. Other software providers in this space are overly complicated, expensive, and focused on back-office organization rather than consumer engagement. Zippity is changing the industry with modern, mobile-friendly software that keeps the consumer informed and in-control.

Come join a tight-knit team of 5 engineers and 1 product manager! Looking for strong communicators with a growth mindset. Tech: React, RN, Python, AWS. We're at a major growth point, happy to tell you more in a call.

Re:Ask HN: News alerts when a startup shuts down? on Thursday October 10, 2019 @07:06PM (#21220110)
Thanks @ai_ia!

Looks like someone created this landing page in March 2019. It’s not launched yet. I wonder if it’s still being worked on.

Ask HN: News alerts when a startup shuts down?

When a startup company decides to shut down, there are talented engineers who are looking for their next job.I think it would be really useful to have a news feed of any startup company that is shutting down. Other startups could reach out (via LinkedIn, or via email to candidates who opt-in) and let them know of cool open startup jobs.* Does this already exist somewhere? (Angellist etc)*...
