Every week brings new strategies, tactics, and trends that shape how startups get built. TLDR Founders cuts through it: what's actionable for people building companies, delivered in under five minutes to hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
We're looking for a curator to help us decide what makes the cut.
About the Role
Three days a week (roughly an hour a day including the time you would usually spend keeping up with startup news), you'll pick the 6-8 stories that matter, cut the ones that don't, and write concise summaries that respect the reader's time.
About You
You're the founder of a VC-backed startup and spend a ton of time on x.com, Hacker News, and founder Slacks and group chats.
You consistently hear about new strategies and trends before other founders.
Why You'll Love It
Access. TLDR curators have been invited to major tech events and get introductions to operators, investors, and reporters across the ecosystem.
Personal brand. Many curators use the role to grow their audience and reputation. Many also angel invest or scout for VC funds.
Early access. You'll get first access to the products we're building in-house, including a new reader we're piloting this year for how people consume technical content (more on that once you apply).
Pay. Competitive rates.
