4yrs ago, YC rejected our startup, even with traction.
We continued to build (and grow) since then. But seeing startups without any traction enter YC, I kept asking:
Would we have made YC's cut if we told a better product story? Per my just-published research, YES.

@Suprva02 If you want to surface (and hire) only High-Agency talent faster without hoping between tools or long resume and random portfolio links reviews, consider using Laand.

@rohanrkumar Using Laand, you just state the next milestone you want to achieve with this hire, and it'll engineer not just what to look for, but how to assess applicants.
Happy to show you around.
@AdamPolify Imagine if all you had to do was verify who really needed, based on real Proof of Work scoped around the actual tasks they'd perform when hired.
That's what Laand does for you.

@rama1809 Laand is built for this.
No 6+ interview rounds required to vet if they can actually execute, after hours reviewing 100+ resumes and links.
With Laand, the top 3-5 High-Agency talent gets surfaced, you verify via real Proof of Work, and hire the best.
@johnloeber Laand helps you surface only the right kind of High-Agency person you need, through micro-projects scoped around your business goals and the actual tasks they'd perform.
You just verify through the work, instead 6+ interview rounds just to check if they execute.
@ivanboroja If you used Laand, only 3-5 great fits with the needed High-Agency & Taste will be surfaced for you. The rest also get real-time feedback on what they could've done better. Both saves you all the time.
@hazan0608 To surface only High-Agency talent that are truly cracked, you need real Proof of Work scoped around the actual tasks they'd perform.
Laand exists for that.
Give a look at, laand .me
@audrlo anyone can say they're 'good.' Laand surfaces who truly has High-Agency & Taste in the context of your business.
You also verify them via real Proof of Work scoped around the actual tasks new hires would do before hiring.

@zdogmode Because the bulk of it is intangible and requires them to just "believe" it will work compared to shipping code and testing before pushing to production.
