What we ask of you:

Please ask yourself if you are ready for a challenge before applying. Even in optimal conditions, Start-Ups are hard, and are always a lot of work. What you do week to week will change. If this feels exciting, not concerning, that s a good sign.

They also require a lot of autonomy. We will be in person, and we have relevant experience, but we do not have all the answers. Like every start-up, we continue to discover as we build. If this is exciting, please reach out.
