Hatch | ENG roles | SF, CA | FTE | Onsite/remote (although I guess we're all remote right now)
Hatch is building financial and software products for SMBs--we're starting with short-term credit ($200-$5,000) at affordable, transparent rates for small businesses with no credit history or impaired credit history.
Help us move millions of dollars around--our stack is Kotlin, Spring, React, and Typescript, k8s. We're hiring engineers across all parts of the stack who want to help small businesses in the United States find their footing again in a very uncertain time.
Platinum medical/dental/vision, 401k matching, commute and health/wellness stipend.
I also really enjoyed this post from Alexis re: their journey [1]--particularly this excerpt:
"I talk about this a lot in my book, but it was PG who invited us to apply to the first ever round of Y Combinator and ultimately Jessica Livingston who banged on the table to accept us into the program after PG and the other partners rejected us.
I often think about what would have happened if she hadn't demanded that we be part of the program. There'd be no reddit, that's for sure."
This doesn't get repeated quite often enough as it should, but jl is probably one of the kindest, most intelligent, and most perceptive partners at YC, and probably in the entire venture capital industry.
My name is Thomson, and I've set up the following aliases for my gmail (in decreasing order of traffic): thompson, thomas, tom, thom (my dad's name). I get an e-mail at least twice a week.
I wonder though, if a similar list made today will stack heavily toward B2B SaaS and omit promising social consumer applications, just because the pendulum has swung toward valuing B2B companies more.
I'm certainly a bit sympathetic to wanting to attend informative conferences and events that charge way too much (even for 'founder-friendly' badges), but I'm not sure if the author ever justifies breaking into both 500 and YC's demo days, which are events reserved for investors and press.
"Since some people were confused when we funded Watsi, I'd better clarify that the money we're putting into the nonprofits will be a charitable donation, rather than an investment in the narrow sense. We won't have any financial interest in them."
Probably the coolest part of that article was the realization that I could read some arbitrary magazine from 1982 on my browser within seconds. Archive.org really is an amazing organization, and I was also happy to find out that they're matching donations 3:1 due to anonymous generosity after their recent fire-y setback [1]. Do consider donating!
