Even, no longer just for Steven
Since 2011 I've helped hundreds of Silicon Valley startups hire even more hundreds of engineers. I've met with thousands of founders and listened to them pitch their businesses: missions, values, their plan to take over the world one user at a time.
It is rare to meet a founding team that is so passionate about their mission - to improve the lives of everyday Americans - 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck! This affects 140 million adults across the US, this is the new normal.
It is rare to meet a founding team that holds true to their mission in the face of difficult decisions - user acquisition, customer LTV, revenue growth, VC funding.
The Even team has a clear Why.
Like visionary companies before them have proven, Why matters. And it produces results:
- Over 300,000 Members use Even
- 4.9 rating on iTunes with over 15k downloads
- 4.8 rating on Play with over 15k download
- And Khosla Ventures just led a $40MM Series B to accelerate growth
In addition to being committed to their Mission, Even is thoughtful about how they grow their team. Most importantly, they are actively refining these ideas.
Do you desire to understand and accept the perspectives of others? Do you have an insatiable hunger for improvement? See the individual qualities Even looks for.
While most companies are stockpiling ping pong tables in a Perks arms race, Even is clear about what they don't need in order to build company culture.
Even is also committed to developing their team as Leaders through courses like Harrison Metal (also an investor).
