A problem you know deeply. Evidence you've made progress. The ambition to build.
We look for exceptional people who understand a specific problem, have already taken meaningful action and are determined to build an ambitious company around it.
You don't need an established startup. But you should know what matters to you, why it matters, and what makes you uniquely positioned to tackle it.
