How It Works
For Candidates
Find founding roles
Browse by role, stage, or location. Verified Equity means an employer disclosed a numeric equity range. Estimated Equity is a FoundingHunt Benchmark: a FoundingHunt-derived estimate, not an employer offer. When neither range is available, we show Equity unavailable. Company size is shown when it is verified. No recruiters, no agencies.
Evaluate the offer
Use our equity calculator, offer comparator, and vesting planner to understand what your equity is actually worth. Read our guides on evaluating offers, negotiating compensation, and spotting red flags. Compensation benchmarks by role are at founding salaries.
Apply directly
Every listing links to the company’s own application. No middleman. You apply directly to the founding team. We don’t insert ourselves between you and your hire.
For Founders
Share your role
Import an existing job post or answer a short brief — we build the complete listing for you. You verify only the candidate-critical facts: company identity, role, location, salary, application destination, and the employer-disclosed equity range every paid listing includes.
We review within one business day
A person reviews every submission before anything goes live — nothing publishes automatically. If we can’t approve it, you get a full refund. We handle grammar, formatting, and categorization ourselves; if a material fact needs to change, we confirm it with you first.
Candidates apply directly
Qualified candidates find your listing, apply through your own hiring pipeline, and you talk to them directly. We’re not a recruiter. We don’t take a cut of salary or equity. We just get your role in front of the right people.
