New AI startup. Looking for a Bay Area-based BD/operator.

I'm a repeat founder and we're building a new company around the idea that access to frontier AI should be dramatically easier and more affordable.

Looking for someone who is obsessed with AI, has founder-level hustle, loves meeting people, and gets excited about turning ideas into opportunities.

You'll help find customers, build partnerships, and shape the business from day one.

You must be based in the San Francisco Bay Area and already authorized to work in the US. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide visa sponsorship at this time.

We are big believers in the future of messaging. At Connectly(https://connectly.ai) we are building an AI-based messaging platform to connect businesses and customers. For example, I don't understand why I need to call or email instead of messaging businesses from my WhatsApp. Today we are a 18-people team(hiring 10+), have raised a large amount from top investors in Silicon Valley, and built an early product that has 40+ paying business users(SMB/Enterprise). Message volume has been growing 100%+ week-over-week.

I'm proud to say our team is pretty awesome and our tech stack is very modern(golang, python, typescript & react). We pay people well and treat each other with respect.

We aim to get to something meaningful quickly while cultivating a good & open culture along the way. Email me at [email protected] or apply at https://jobs.lever.co/connectly if you are interested to know more!

Connectly(https://connectly.ai) is hiring experienced frontend, backend and full-stack engineers. We are a distributed team and all roles are remote.

Our goal is to enable everyone to message and finalize transactions with businesses(e-commerce, hairdressers, tax advisors, etc.) and vice versa. My co-founder was the global Head of Messenger at Facebook, and we've raised substantial money from top investors.

I know a lot of companies were founded recently and are all looking for people, and I surely hope we are doing better in every way:

- great team/top investors/market demand is strong/modern tech stack(Golang + TypeScript + React + RxJS + Docker+Kubernetes)/top pay + equity/a significant role/fully remote

And most importantly we are building a company for ourselves - somewhere one can learn, grow and be happy

Looking for senior engineers who are passionate about building a company together. Should have good abstractions, work independently, care about eng quality as well as business impact when doing the work.

Connectly was founded by executives from Facebook and Strava and we've raised substantial money from top investors. Email me([email protected]) or directly apply at https://jobs.lever.co/connectly. Speak soon!

Sad to see articles like this. Just because startups aren't for you, it doesn't mean it's not for everyone. Consider that all great companies today were startups sometime ago, I consider startups in tech are a majority source of innovation and disruption. Yes joining a startup is risky, and it may not justify the effort if all your focus is the financial return. But some ones will have to do it, make better products or services, and enable others to do even greater things.
