[Louisa | BenchStack AI @BenchstackAi]

I'm looking to meet more builders in SF, NYC and remote US who want to do the best work of their career at an early stage startup.

The teams I'm partnering with are YC and VC backed, from seed to Series C, building across AI, fintech, infrastructure and developer tools.

They're raising, shipping fast and hiring now.

Especially keen to meet:
. “Backend Engineers"
• "Full Stack Engineers"
• "AI Engineers"
• "Forward Deployed Engineers"
• "Product Managers"
• "Account Executives"
• "Founding Engineers"

If you love building from zero, want real ownership and are ready for your next big swing, I'd love to hear from you.

Send me a DM 💬 Confidential, always.

- 2 to 5 years in product at a startup, marketplace or B2B SaaS

- Strong product taste and deep data skills

• 5 to 10 years in product, owning roadmaps on AI-focused engineering teams
