Startups I'd work for

Half of my friends are looking for jobs, and the other half is looking for exceptional people to hire. Job seekers seek temporarily. Founders are always hiring. This is a post to keep track of companies I'll always recommend. It started as a link to send to friends, and I thought I might as well make it public.

If I were looking for a job, this is where I’d apply based on two criteria: (a) Strong technical skills (b) Personalities you want to work with.

• Nunu (Zurich): Automated testing for computer games with VLMs.

• Telli (Berlin): Voice agents for outbound sales.

• Vet Dodo (SF): Voice agents for healthcare.

• Emdash (SF): Open-source agentic development environment.

• Soff (SF): AI for SME procurement and sales.

• Langfuse (Berlin & SF): Tracing and logs for LLM calls.

If we know each other, I’m happy to introduce you to the founders. If we don’t, then my introduction isn’t worth much, so just reach out yourself.
