Hey everyone!
As an entrepreneur (with quite a few misfires under my belt) I know that gaining startup experience can be extremely valuable. This is why I thought I'd share my latest side-project with you all.
My name is Max and I recently started The Ranking, a website where I compile job opportunities at recently funded startups. I focus on lesser-known and publicized companies that have been backed by the top VCs and are growing at a great pace. Working for a startup can be an incredible experience, and as a plus, most of them offer stock options.
I recently compiled a list of 10 recently funded startups and I included some of their open positions.
I also send out a free newsletter with curated job opportunities every Tuesday and Thursday. You can subscribe here.
Hope this is useful for you all!
