San Francisco, CA │ ePantry │ Founding Engineer

We launched in August and were seeded behind a vision of making it easier for busy people to be responsible in how they buy household products. Highlights below:

* Customer Problem: People want to buy (and not run out of) “the right” household products, but busy people don’t want to put time into finding sustainable toilet paper

* What We Do: “Dollar Shave Club” for name-brand, “green” household consumables ($24+bn TAM), with an emphasis on flexibility and customer service

* Customer Value Proposition: 5 min registration = A) never run out of TP, B) never overpay, C) always get products good for people & the earth

* Customer Archetype: ~35 y/o female, kids, busy; “green,” but SUV; Whole Foods, but 365 (private label); iPhone, but not techy; Gilt often, but Gucci rarely

* Our Challenge: Create the most convenient platform in the world for a set of household products with unique purchasing patterns (not a shopping cart site…)

* Competition: Selling a niche product better than Amazon has a surprising track record. e.g. Alice, Dollar Shave Club, Manpacks, Quidsi, Zappos

* Traction: Initial revenue in November through an offline product version. Backlog for >$150,000 run rate bookings through offline version in first 45 days of availability (by mid-Jan).

* Full Time Team: Stu (Biz/PM): Advisor & raised >$2m @ 4 start-ups, >$100m invested in tech, employee #2 twice; Jordan (Mktg): Goodby, Doritos, TD Ameritrade

* Seeders : The entrepreneurs behind companies like Hotwire, CitySearch, Friendster, Cater2.me, Everfi, Vincraft, Augusta Columbia, and Toro IP

* Stage: Funded. Prototype of product being tested compulsively now to acquire alpha users. Lean startup methodology.

* Founding Engineer: A fully empowered co-founder with strong opinions, understanding of lean & MVP tradeoffs, full stack ownership, and a long term vision

* What You Get: Competitive cash, generous equity, full benefits, flexible/fun environment, passionate team, leave the world better than you found it

I would love to grab a coffee/beer and brainstorm about the challenges/opportunities ahead. sl@epantry.com

San Francisco, CA - Addvocate

http://addvocate.com

"Employees should be your strongest Addvocates. We build tools that make it easy for teams and groups to tell large collaborative social media stories. Employee's matter. :)"

    - Python/ MongoDB
    - iOS & Android
    - Javascript( HTML5, Firefox Addons, Chrome Ext.)

We are a friendly bunch, and we are looking for highly skilled and friendly people to work with. Many of us left the Midwest 4 years ago to make a great product and company here in SF, after diverging into various roles and companies we have gotten the gang back together, so to speak. Our CEO had one successful exit, and is an ex. Salesforce Director. Other members have worked/ written core libraries for Twitter & MySpace, and have worked for Kabam, inboxQ and Microsoft. We are still building the core team.

If you are looking to get in on the ground floor of a fast passed Enterprise Social Media team, this is the team to join. We have fun projects ranging from mobile, big data, analytic, machine learning and large Javascript Apps. We are trying to ship weekly, while maintaining the quality needed for an enterprise app. We want to bring the best of the consumer web to the Enterprise.

Tell us what you have worked on and what you would love to work on. Many of us go to conferences and hackathons to prototype new ideas. Some are related to our core business and sometimes they are just created for fun.

If you are a smart, ambitious developer, who likes to ship code, we would like to meet you.

Cheers,

Here's to many great hacking sessions to come.
