How it works
Signal
Commit velocity, stack depth, and shipping patterns replace the CV. A Builder Pass generates automatically — and stays current as you ship. No portfolios. No updates.
Privacy
Neither side is exposed until mutual opt-in. Identity stays hidden until both say yes.
Matching
Founders search by real stack overlap. Builders browse active roles and express interest. The radar graph gives both sides a fast read on fit — no back-and-forth required.
Pricing
No placement fees. No commissions. No “we take 20% of year one.”
Guardrails
The double-blind system means neither side can contact the other without mutual opt-in. No unsolicited messages. No pile to compete against.
For founders
Builder interest comes to you. Glance at the stack graph — know in seconds if it's worth 15 minutes.

Double opt-in. You both confirm before any details are shared.
The math
The average recruiter charges 20% of first-year salary. For a senior engineer at $175k, that's $35k — per hire. On a seed round, that's months of runway gone before anyone ships a line of code.
