Skip the pile. Land in the founder's inbox.
Founders at early startups often read their own email. A short note about why you fit them stands out there in a way a form application rarely does.
A founder's inbox, the week a role goes up.
One short note, about why you fit. Then a reply.
Hey, this is great timing. We're about to open this role.
Free for a quick call Tuesday?
Here's what it feels like instead.
Backdoor does the searching, writing and chasing. You stay in the loop and say yes.
BackdoorIt sounds like you, not a template
Your note points to your own projects and skills, so it reads like you, not a template.
BackdoorA founder reads it, not a filter
