We're early-stage & operate in 2wk sprints/cycles—focused on getting things shipped. Our 2 priorities:
1) Build prod features—mobile-responsive, well-designed UX that delights users as they recommend & discover talent.
2) Build ML systems to understand & enable trust driven UX.
Exciting times at @TrustedFor_! We’re looking to hire a Product Engineer to join the founding team. Come help us build LinkedIn 2.0—where user profiles are based on credible recommendations that go beyond your pedigree, schooling, and jobs.

We're building a trust graph based on who trusts whom & in what context, ie Who
- would you hack a product MVP w/ over a weekend?
- are designers you trust to benchmark design talent?
- are investors w/ incredible empathy for founders?
Your people recommend their people.⭐️
Some people asked me on Twitter what does a successful cold email to a VC look like? Here's a company we funded who sent us a cold email that I'll highlight (details redacted).
Some thoughts here:

We're working to build a network that allows you to praise a designer, marketer, engineer, product person, etc for their work that
1) stays on the person's profile
2) can help other people needing the expertise you're shouting out

We think about this as we continue to try to grow TrustedFor. It’s in these intimate networks that opportunities arise—if you’re able to plug into them when you need to.
The bigger the town, the more lonely the residents become.
The bigger the social network, the more lonely the members become.
The bigger the office, the more lonely workers become.
Humans are built for small groups but today exist in constantly expanding networks.
Founders, don't build a company investors want so you can raise money from them.
Build the company YOU want and find investors that happen to want that too.
