Launched an MVP to help find ALL new remote jobs

My startup failed. I went back to job searching daily, and was getting 40% response rates from my reachouts to hiring managers.

I was getting a million job alert emails (half of which weren't even relevant) and I'd STILL find new postings that would slip between the cracks.

So now I spend 2hrs+ searching everyday, combing 40+ job boards, social media feeds, and more - I thought maybe I'd also help some other folks keep an eye out for their perfect remote job.

Anyway if anyone's interested in getting ONE email alert for ALL new postings (and only the ones that actually fit you, curated by hand) you can check it out here for $5/mth. For a few $ extra I also find the hiring manager and their contact info for you to try and land it.

If you find a posting that I missed, you get a month free. I'm quite confident I catch everything because I was a hiring manager myself so I know where companies post things and under what conditions they post where.

    Hey Chris, I wasn't sure what was going to happen with my contract a couple months ago so I popped into the market and found the same issue. Tons of spam all over the place without a good way to filter through it to find the good jobs. I'd love to get your opinion on it and talk to you more about the job market in general.

      Wow, you may just have erased the need for my mvp! I just took a remote job myself so I think I may shelve the production for now - if there's anything I can help with let me know.

          Great question! Ultimately we DID build something people wanted. The problem was the economics of the business. How would we scale to different segments
