agreed, changing that now.

- actively working on "top investors" and filtering by that as well (we prioritize tier 1, they just get lost in the fray) - onboarding -- looking at our data, surprised that a lot of people didn't fake it, just dropped off at the create acct page - working on updated jobs page + home page refreshes

haven't seen topstartups! looks great. we kill it on curation + matching. Curation: lot of dead startups from tier 1 investors. instead, we look holistically at growth rate, funding, major hires, benefits, etc to recommend great co's. no one else can do that. matching: instant gratification is nice, but when you're actually looking/applying, you don't need quantity.

our analytics show a cliff, hard lesson learned

this was an issue with 1 job -- we deleted that specific job and fixed it if you'd like to try again! really sorry about that.

agreed, all the engineers we know who got in early to the best co's did just this. not many folks can just go and talk to a partner though (or don't even think of doing so). I think this is the next best thing

sweeeeeeet

well, now we know our biggest issue! many repeated comments about this -- thank you :)

Thank you so much! Just implemented salary matching and can tell it isn't perfect.

Can't wait to make this better :)

lmfaoooo yo i'm that pm, the bonus is i get to hear my team say "I told you so!" all week
dvykhopen··on Show HN: We used investor tools to find the best startups to work at
yuck. gonna fix that today, thanks

Thank you! was the value proposition clear to you or did the design distract a bit?
dvykhopen··on Show HN: We used investor tools to find the best startups to work at
thanks so much!! adding PM roles in the very near future. really want them too since i'm a former pm :)

we could filter on co's who had steady growth for >2 years, potentially profitable, over 15 people, and good benefits packages. any other filters?
dvykhopen··on Show HN: We used investor tools to find the best startups to work at
honestly, we can probably create a category of something like, "steady growth, incredible culture" -- would that be interesting to you?

thanks for highlighting -- this happened due to poor webflow implementation. working on getting this down!

great point, and i'm starting to agree. we battled with this when implementing this design but after now stress-testing realized it may be a bit too much.

as someone who strives to write concise copy, i find myself dying to just change to a white background with a heading and bullet points sometimes.

will keep in mind as we improve this, thank you!

dvykhopen··on Show HN: We used investor tools to find the best startups to work at
shoot, fixing this now, thanks!
dvykhopen··on Show HN: We used investor tools to find the best startups to work at
lmao we get a lot of love/hate comments on the design, but that's the first time i heard cereal -- thanks i guess? (cuz who doesn't love cereal?!)
dvykhopen··on Show HN: We used investor tools to find the best startups to work at
yeah, totally understand. i don't think this is the best and final form of onboarding, but we decided to use this approach to 1) do a better job matching 2) eliminate irrelevant jobs.

there are lots of job boards out there with tons of jobs. even if we have thousands of roles on the platform, we want you to see only ones that were made to feel like they're perfectly suited to you.

the implementation of what you're asking for sounds like Indeed or LI, which imo, surface pretty subpar jobs and none that are that relevant for me.

dvykhopen··on Show HN: DanColors – Get the color on camera
I’m the colorblind friend. This made me cry more than those colorblind glasses where everyone cries when they get them and see colors for the first time (honestly not that cool, this is cooler.)
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Huddle – Mini-masterclass meets roundtable
Small group video calls led by brands + influencers! Built this as a side project, people ended up really liking it.

The magic happens when it turns from "ooo this is a mini-masterclass with my favorite influencer!" to "ooo the people in here are pretty cool, am I becoming friends with them now?"
