ListenFutureFounder Program
Listen — future founders
The Future Founder Program is for engineers who want to start a company someday. You join Listen as a full-time engineer, but get far more founder-level learning than a normal engineering role. Own new parts of the product, sell features directly to customers, and learn from our founders and investors about ideation, finding PMF, fundraising, scaling 0 to 1, and more.
