Growth is extremely good after launching in late-April 2021. Ways we stand out: * Solo-founded. Generally speaking, solo-founded companies can give way more ownership and that's what we do here. We believe very much in hiring 1 great fit over 3 good fits and giving the 1 great fit more ownership. * Post product-market-fit since we're "regiciding" a $2.1B incumbent with PMF (ReCharge). Liquid I.V., Bev, Muddy Bites, and most of our customers come from ReCharge. We also charge more (since we have a better product). * Fintech + transaction fee business model (1% + 20c on every order). * One of the best times to join in terms of risk/reward (post-PMF while still being pre-series A). * D2C/Shopify app ecosystem is low tech. No competitors with strong engineering teams. Lots of low hanging fruit. * Set yourself up to be a founder (if you want to). Feel free to do a lot of learning here and go off on another adventure in a few years. * Flat org structure (with leads/comprehension-first titles). Good read on this here. * Efficient meeting culture. Make reversible decisions over Slack quickly. Make irreversible decisions a bit slower with meetings. Short meetings instead of many 30m meetings. * Big long-term vision for building network effects. * Similar to Netflix culture. We highly recommend reading. Think of us like a startup/high-upside version. * Trillies, not billies. Unicorn means nothing. We aim for kermit ($1T+ valuation). Why A big part of joining any startup is betting on the founder(s). Here's why I think you should bet on me: * Extremely obsessive & competitive. Have done 100 hour weeks without burning out my whole life. Concrete examples: + Top 200 in LoL NA solo queue (100 million+ players globally) in 1 year. + Learned to code & got top tech internship offers (Pinterest, Stripe) in 1 year (dropped out after freshman year). + Got product-market-fit + raised a seed for Skio solo in 4 months after launching. In 1.5 years if you include time pre-Skio/post-Pinterest. * No personal safety net (e.g. rich family, prior exits) which in turn makes me very paranoid (practically-speaking). This compounds with the above in helping me work very hard (beyond what most people consider reasonable). * Extremely EV-based decision-making. If something is uncomfortable, I'll run straight at it. I also spend money in any way I can to save time and get more done (within reason). * Thick-skinned. I'm used to being flamed from my gaming days :-) This helps me stay cool in high-pressure situations (e.g. I can help calm down angry people). * Won't tap out early. Many founders start focusing on other things in the $1-10B range (e.g. thought leadership, angel investing, other projects). I'll do my best to take Skio into the trillies (kermit). What they're saying Dr. Parik Patel tweet Great traits * Honest. Doesn't lie by omission / believe in ends justifying the means. * Can grind (aka work longer hours vs. a big tech company with 1000+ people). * Really good at something with high skill ceiling. Poker, piano, gaming, sports, past startup/project, anything. * Adventure-driven. We're here to build a legendary company & make some fun memories (+hopefully lots of money). * Similar sense of humor. We're rekking a $2.1B, 8 year old incumbent as a 1 year old company and it'll be more fun if you think it's hilarious. It's pretty much trolling on a business level. * High delta in circumstances & outcome. Maybe you're from a poor family (rich ok too) or maybe you started coding late, but it's a pretty strong signal when you're able to do much better than most people in your shoes would do. * Apolitical. Get shit done mentality (not performative). You care more about impact over title. Bonus points if you've experienced a political company culture and it killed you inside (will do our best to make sure this never happens here). * EV-based decision-making. You prioritize things that make customers happy + make us money. * Contrarian (within reason). You study the status quo and efficiently try to break it in the right ways. * Autonomous. Can take vague requests and get them done without needing too much help (if you need dedicated mentorship, it's not a fit). * Creative. 5 high quality ideas while working on 1 idea.
