+1 to your landing page design. Very fun and engaging.

Some feedback:

- Onboarding is too long: incentivizes fake sign-ups just to see the jobs

- None of the investors listed seem that impressive, which makes me think this is just limited supply rather than higher-quality supply

- Card design looks like Otta, made me wonder what makes this site unique?

Your site feels like a twist on https://topstartups.io/ except I prefer the open format of being able to see everything. Maybe it's instant gratification

- actively working on "top investors" and filtering by that as well (we prioritize tier 1, they just get lost in the fray) - onboarding -- looking at our data, surprised that a lot of people didn't fake it, just dropped off at the create acct page - working on updated jobs page + home page refreshes

haven't seen topstartups! looks great. we kill it on curation + matching. Curation: lot of dead startups from tier 1 investors. instead, we look holistically at growth rate, funding, major hires, benefits, etc to recommend great co's. no one else can do that. matching: instant gratification is nice, but when you're actually looking/applying, you don't need quantity.
