wellfound

Wellfound is a job-search and recruiting platform focused on startups. It provides company profiles, job listings, and tools for job seekers and startups to connect, with the goal of simplifying the process of finding and filling startup roles. Users can browse startups by location, role, or skills, compare companies, and apply to positions directly through the site. The platform aggregates listings from across the startup ecosystem and emphasizes roles in technology, product, marketing, and operations.

Wellfound originated as AngelList Talent, the hiring component of AngelList. In 2022, AngelList rebranded Talent as Wellfound to reflect a broader focus on startup opportunities beyond traditional recruitment. The service is operated by AngelList, a company founded by Naval Ravikant and Babak Nivi, and is part of the broader AngelList ecosystem that includes venture funding and startup discovery platforms.

Features commonly associated with Wellfound include company pages that provide information about a startup’s focus, location, team size, and hiring status, as well as individual job postings with role details and requirements. Company profiles may also present publicly available information on funding, leadership, and the company’s products or services. The platform supports searching and filtering to help users identify opportunities that match their background and interests, and offers direct application pathways.

Reception and usage of Wellfound reflect its role in the startup recruitment landscape, where it serves as a resource for engineers, product managers, designers, and other professionals seeking opportunities in early-stage and growth-stage startups. It competes with other job platforms but remains a notable channel for startup talent acquisition and discovery.
