For Builders & Operators
Build in startups that move.
Hyre AI connects high-agency builders and operators with startups from Pre-Seed to Series C, matching on operating behaviour rather than keywords. Startups aren't for everyone - they are messy, fast, and often chaotic - but for the right person, they are the best place to grow.
Direct access to founders
Roles with equity & ownership
Steep learning curve with real responsibility

What we look for
We don't care about keywords. We care about operating behaviour.
High Agency
You don't wait for permission. You see a blocked path and find a way around it.
Ambiguity Tolerance
You can make decisions with 50% of the information and course-correct later.
First Principles
You break problems down to the basics rather than copying what worked elsewhere.
Ownership
You own the outcome, not just the task. You don't say 'that's not my job'.
Shipping Mindset
You prefer imperfect action over perfect inaction. You optimise for velocity.
Learning Velocity
You ramp quickly; new tools, new context, new problems - and you don’t panic.
Direct Communication
You give and take feedback without ego. Truth seeking over being nice.
Small Team Fit
You know how to wear multiple hats and support the team where needed.
