Ngl, getting direct intros to founders on WhatsApp is genius—cuts out so much noise and time-wasting, fr. Super smart move by the team!

Love that Standout does warm founder intros right from WhatsApp—so much better than endless cold DMs, tbh. This is what job hunting needed, fr!

I used Standout when I arrived in San Francisco and got intros to 5 fast-growing YC startups.

I’ve just tried this new version, and the experience is even smoother.

Just one thing, the landing page felt a bit slow/laggy on my end (MacBook Pro M3).

I’ve always been surprised by how inefficient recruiting was on both sides.

Now you can just ask and get your ideal candidates / jobs, thanks Standout team!

Hey @lilarest, glad you enjoyed the product! Thanks for the feedback on the landing. We will work on perf optimization tomorrow. We went a bit hard on animations 😅

Congrats on the launch. I’ve successfully recruited a founding engineer with Standout a few month ago. Great experience from start to finish :)

Thanks for the comment@tom_darmon. You were one of the very first. Thank you so much for the trust back then 🙏

This hits home, Alexis — love the clarity of the experience you're creating. The WhatsApp layer is brilliant for keeping things human while automating the messy bits.

Out of curiosity: as more users get personalized matches and move into hiring convos, how are you handling support or questions that come up mid-flow? Especially when people drop off or get stuck after the intro.

We ran into similar friction with user journeys in our last product — so now we’re launching Exthalpy on PH soon. It’s a live AI video agent designed to guide users in the moment, like a success-focused teammate on video instead of a chatbot.

Would love your thoughts and support when we go live 🙌

Having been an early user of Standout, I can do nothing but recommend the tool. It really found great job opportunities as a candidate when I was looking for a startup job a few months back! Thanks a lot to the team for their work!

Love this idea! Getting startup job leads directly on WhatsApp? That’s genius—I always miss opportunities buried in emails. Does it suggest roles based on my interests too?

Forget chasing leads and cold intros, Standout flips the hiring funnel. With one call, it syncs to your goals, screens noise, and surfaces tailored startup roles with real founder access. It's AI matchmaking meets startup velocity.
