The one thing we hear from founders across the board is help with hiring. So that's what we did here, bringing together 7 portfolio founders and 50+ engineers for our Outset Capital Summer Hiring Fair.
Portfolio companies Browserbase, Detail, Harper, Medra, Smithery, Starsling, and Tako, each gave quick introductions to what they were building, and then broke out across the room so the invited engineers could come meet them.
Each of these companies is actively hiring. Below, we've shared some photos.
To keep these events intimate and caliber high, these events are invite-only. If you're interested in learning more about these companies and joining our Fall Hiring Fair, submit your information here.
