FAQ
Before you apply
Clear expectations, clear growth path.
Do I need prior startup experience?
No. Proof of skill, execution quality, and learning speed matter more than previous startup logos.
What does replace your mentor mean?
It means you can independently run that role at a high bar, while your mentor moves to a bigger scope.
What if I fail?
We coach with tight feedback loops and clear expectations, but standards remain high.
Is this intense?
Yes. We operate with healthy intensity, clear boundaries, and zero tolerance for toxic culture.
