Backdoor
Hundreds of applications, and still no replies.
LazyApply sends applications for you by the hundred. Backdoor sends a few notes a morning to the founders who decide, and follows up until they answer.

Weeks later, you still hear nothing.
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.
BackdoorA founder reads it, not a filter
Your note lands in the inbox of the founder or hiring manager who can say yes.
BackdoorIt sounds like you, not a template
Each note says why you fit that startup, so it never reads like the other hundred.
BackdoorFollow-ups happen without you
Follow-ups go out in the same thread and stop the moment someone replies.
Replies come in weeks, not months.
Backdoor only writes to founders you fit, so the ones who answer tend to answer fast. See the research

Questions, answered.
It depends on what you need. If sending many applications hasn't brought replies, reaching the person who hires is a different way in than adding more to the pile.
For startup jobs, Backdoor. It finds startups that fit you, writes to the founder, and sends from your own Gmail once you say so.
Many do. More than half the people who gave Backdoor three weeks heard back from a founder, and 4 in 10 got to an interview or next round.
No. Every note waits in your chat until you reply SEND, and then it goes out from your own Gmail. After that, follow-ups go out on their own in the same thread.
