Hey, dear reader!
A lot has happened since our last community update in February. Let me catch you up :)
The found job board is live. I've been curating job picks for the newsletter every week, but now there's a dedicated place where you can browse even more open roles at Hamburg's startups and tech companies. It's broken down by sector — SaaS, AI, Health, Climate — so you can find what's relevant to you fast. The weekly top 3 picks aren't going anywhere, but the job board is where the full picture lives. If you're hiring, reply to this email and let's get your role listed.
I recently went on the Founders & Fries podcast. We talked about how found started, what the vision is, and where things are headed. I also teased a new project Hugo and I are starting very soon! Can’t wait to tell you more in the coming weeks!
And one more thing. found was selected to compete in the Future Leaders Award — an award that recognizes initiatives making an impact in their communities. We made it to the voting round, and now every vote counts. Vote for found, so we can get a chance to pitch found on the main stage in front of thousands of people!
We also have quite a few tickets for the Future Leader Summit for our community — simply reply to this email to get one.
