Our community spans pre-seed to Series A founders alongside VCs, family offices, and high net worth individuals. We've built a brand that people genuinely love and trust.
We are working on the 1st ever social graph on how professionals build relationships (SoPhy) - in real life and online - and uses an AI agent to help people find the right person to meet and to strengthen the connections that matter.

This is a genuinely hands-on lead role: you'll be writing code, making architecture calls, and mentoring other engineers, not sitting in meetings all day.
