Backdoor

Finding the right startup job isn't about sending hundreds of applications—it's about reaching the right founders with the right message at the right time. This AI hiring agent helps builders and operators discover high-fit startup opportunities and manage personalized outreach automatically.

Your Personal Startup Job Search Agent

The process begins with a short onboarding conversation where the agent learns about your:

• Work experience
• Skills and strengths
• Career goals
• Preferred roles and industries

It then continuously searches for startup opportunities that match your profile.

Key Features

Curated Startup Job Discovery

Every day, the agent scans startup ecosystems and hiring sources including:

• Y Combinator companies
• Product Hunt launches
• TechCrunch startups
• Founder-led businesses
• Emerging startup communities

to identify the most relevant opportunities.

Personalized Founder Outreach

For each role, the agent creates a tailored outreach message designed to:

• Highlight your relevant experience
• Communicate your value clearly
• Start meaningful conversations
• Increase response rates

Automated Follow-Ups

Most opportunities are lost because candidates never follow up.

The agent automatically sends up to four follow-up messages to keep conversations moving and improve interview chances.

Conversational Control

Manage your job search through simple natural-language interactions.

You can:

• Update preferences
• Adjust targeting
• Review outreach
• Request changes

all through chat.

Complete Transparency

Track every activity through a dedicated dashboard showing:

• Applications sent
• Outreach history
• Follow-up status
• Founder responses
• Interview opportunities

Built for Startup Careers

Ideal for:

• Operators
• Founding team candidates
• Product professionals
• Growth specialists
• Engineers
• Startup generalists

looking to join fast-growing, founder-led companies.

Why It Matters

Traditional job applications often disappear into applicant tracking systems. Startup hiring is different—relationships, timing, and personalized outreach matter far more. This platform automates the research, targeting, and communication process, helping candidates focus on high-quality opportunities instead of mass applications.

Turn Applications Into Conversations

By combining startup discovery, personalized outreach, and persistent follow-up, the agent helps job seekers create more opportunities for meaningful founder conversations and interviews.
