01 · For hiring teams

Hire builders we've watched ship.
Months before the market sees them.

312 builders. 14 cities. Every one signed up because they wanted to build, not network. Tap the pipeline.

02 · Why this works
Edge 01
48-hour signal

A resume tells you what someone says they did. A hackathon shows you what they shipped, on deadline, under pressure.

Edge 02
Industry-tested

Every builder in the network has solved a real problem for a real sponsor. Defense, healthcare, energy, fintech. Not whiteboard puzzles.

Edge 03
Months ahead

We watch people ship before they're on the market. Average placement is 4 months ahead of when the candidate would have started job-hunting.
