Hiring is hard. Hiring execs is 1000x harder.Founders spend months recruiting executives while the problems they needed to be solved yesterday continue to pile up.What if founders could hire best-in-class executives to solve the most accute problems in days?Enter Shiny. A marketplace for vetted fractional executives.This is one of those products I wished existed when I was a founder and I'm super excited for their launch today. Congrats to Jacob Sheldon and the entire team.Check it out https://lnkd.in/dq-WApvZ#hiring #founders #recruiting

I'm working with an experienced and talented founder at ODX who is building a B2B Saas company in the partnership space. They are bringing on the first engineering leader with experience shipping great products with Python/JS. Fully remote funded pre-seed startup. Would love to make an intro from my network. DMs open.

Congrats to good guys Benjamin Paul Rollert, Ananda Aisola, and Ronny Li on launching Composer today!Composer holds a special place for me. It's the first angel check I wrote 18 months ago (stupidly through a syndicate and not direct when I had the chance). It's been incredible to watch this team build towards the vision since then.This is a must-try product for any public market investors👉 https://lnkd.in/gnyzcAYA
