Interesting idea, honestly. Although I’m put off by the fact that you’ve reposted this multiple times, I respect the hustle.

Actual thoughts:

1) Who is this for? The unemployed (having been one) would be too broke/cheap to pay for a tool like this. Employed engineers already have recruiters knocking down their doors.

2) Why would I use this? This helps with company discovery, but it doesn’t actually give my application an edge. If I’m having a hard time finding a job, it’s unlikely that it’s because I haven’t found the perfect company to apply to; it’s more likely that I can’t land the interview or pass the interview.

3) Why would I pay for this? As someone who’s bounced around a lot, there are a lot of tools and resources to help me with the job search and I don’t have to pay or do additional work. Such as:

A) third-party recruiters: they’ll find companies with my exact specifications + get my resume in front of the hiring manager without me lifting a finger.

B) Hired.com: I can create a profile there listing my skills and experience and companies apply to interview me instead of the other way around. I get to pick and choose where I interview, again, without any effort on my part.

When I think about the value proposition here vs ~$15/month for a Leetcode subscription that improves my chances at landing a job anywhere I apply, it’s very hard to justify the cost.

Honestly, I would “launch” (is it not already live?) this without a paywall and gauge user behavior. If they aren’t using it for free, they definitely won’t pay for it. If they are using it, then think about implementing a paywall or premium features or some other means of monetization.

hahah trying hard, we really love what we're building and want a lot of people to know about it :) it was a totally different product 4 mos ago and we used that feedback to make it massively better

as for who is this for, we obviously didn't make it clear. Our goal is to help folks become rich by choosing the right fast-growing startup to work for. that's why we think people would want to pay, and this is what we can do 10x better than anyone else.

ie, if you asked me right now which startup you should join to make tons of money in a few years, I would tell you the top 5 right ones for you. We want to productize that.
