General Description

Overview

We are a stealth-mode web startup based in Silicon Valley and Los Angeles and we are looking for web developers. Our goal is to create an entirely new economic ecosystem and infrastructure that will allow hundreds of millions of people to derive their income from focusing on their passions full time: a unity of work and life.

Culture

We believe that all team members should have opportunities to explore, cultivate new interests, and do fun activities outside of our startup; therefore, all team members are required to pursue one hobby during the workday! One member takes gypsy jazz guitar lessons to play like Django Reinhardt, another bakes French baguettes, another practices martial arts, another volunteers at a silent film theater, and another audits a seminar at Stanford on intellectual history. This is all in addition to the time that we devote -- during the day -- to reading, attending concerts and viewing films. We don’t believe that “being busy is a badge of honor” and that one must work long hours to be productive. We want to create a fun environment where people love to learn and explore. And our goal of unity of work and life is inherent in all facets of our startup, from our goal to our culture.

Team Background

 Many team members have a background in web subculture: Soulseek, Guitar Tabs, IRC, RateYourMusic, Last.fm, Obscure Music Blogs, and hacking/homebrew communities.
 Many team members feel that the web is not as magical in 2017 as it was in 2009. We all believe that the web has many possibilities that have not been realized: we are working together to realize those possibilities.
