Tier 1 firms (YC, 500 startups?) are great, but honestly they do invest in a lot of crap too. Glassdoor has some surprisingly tiny companies and they're useful for flagging issues. I do bring up these issues in the interviews and let the interview address them fairly.
+1 to your landing page design. Very fun and engaging.
Some feedback:
- Onboarding is too long: incentivizes fake sign-ups just to see the jobs
- None of the investors listed seem that impressive, which makes me think this is just limited supply rather than higher-quality supply
- Card design looks like Otta, made me wonder what makes this site unique?
Your site feels like a twist on https://topstartups.io/ except I prefer the open format of being able to see everything. Maybe it's instant gratification
- 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.
http://angel.co/ is a common one, although some of the startups are a bit sketch, so you gotta do your research. https://topstartups.io/ filters for higher-quality startups
Yes, valuations have gone through the roof, but the equity grants have not kept pace. This is a huge disservice to candidates. Got especially bad in 2021. Really important for people to research startup pay before signing: https://topstartups.io/startup-salary-equity-database/
To the OP: if you believe your comp bands are competitive, why not share in the posting itself?

Leaving that out makes it clear that the post was made in good faith. If I thought the submission was just a job ad in disguise, I might have flagged it.
I think the GP is saying "Why don't you put your salary band into the job ad", rather than "why didn't you link the job ad itself here".
Which is 100% valid! Beyond being mandatory in more and more jurisdictions, having the salary range be posted has made me more likely to apply. Extremely confidence inspiring when it actually is market rate.
I know recruiters/C suite people think they can jedi mind trick people into taking super low offers that way, but really almost all really good candidates will be able to get jobs elsewhere anyways so you're just wasting a bunch of people's time cuz they're not going to take the offer.
The growing demand for currency not controlled by the government is undeniable. Only a matter of time. But this time, hopefully less irrational exuberance for alt-coins that serve no purpose besides speculation
Cryptocurrencies are acting as anything but, though. In 2015 electronic cash wasn't really a thing in my country (it's still got a long way to go today). I tried using Bitcoin. It was slow, difficult to use, and the value was prone to wild swings. I wanted Bitcoin or something similar to succeed as a currency. But it's all been taken over by speculators and scammers.
When I moved to Australia I found that I could just use AUD electronically. Fast, easy, stable, and fee-free.
dumpster fire sounds right. their support team is also basically non-existent, so if you ever have questions about your account, expect multiple days of waiting
Why I joined: Was tired of big tech and wanted to learn faster. Founders were smart. Ran a surprisingly tight interview process.
Advice: if I were to reverse-engineer this, I would follow Seed-Series A investments from Tier 1 firms. These are the highest-signal companies.
