http://www.gethightower.com We’re building a collaboration and workflow tool for the commercial real estate (CRE) industry -- "Trello, but for CRE". Our first product targets commercial leasing teams, who run a highly mobile and collaborative workflow using tools like paper (!) and 90s-era desktop productivity software (yes, I'm looking at you, Excel). Our founding team is Brandon Weber, a HCI graduate from CMU and former commercial real estate broker, me - Niall Smart, founder of YC W09 company Echodio (sold to RealNetworks) and Donald DeSantis, founder at LIFFFT, Giant Thinkwell, and an early Redfin employee. We’re backed by top-tier investors in enterprise tech and CRE, including Thrive Capital (42Floors, Honest Buildings, Urban Compass), BVP (Box, Intercom, Clearside), Aaron Levie, Lee Linden, David Tisch and Gary Vaynerhuck [1] If reimagining the technology toolset used by an entire industry is the kind of thing that floats your boat, come talk to us – we're still a small team, and you can have a huge impact. We’re currently hiring full stack web developers who have a solid portfolio of building product at startups. Our stack is Rails + AngularJS + iOS. Knowledge of CRE is not a pre-requisite. Drop me a line to learn more – niall.smart (at) gethightower.com. Cheers, Niall [1] http://www.pehub.com/2013/12/hightower-grabs-2-12-mln-in-see... |
