you prob know FYSK as the premier startup/talent showcase/startup-party in SF
but did you also know we’re an investment platform/community?
we write $100k checks into the series A rounds of companies that are scaling revenue and engineering teams.
we grow together
we know this is severely underpriced today
but when we invest in founders we provide a lot more help in hiring great engineers than just featuring at the showcase
the core of the help is a "bespoke matching" process to connect talent from our community to founders
so far this
In the spirit of @nikunj's sentiment, here's what X, not Linkedin, is saying about the startups you'll get to meet at our October 15th Founders You Should Know 🧵🧵
It's incredible how obsolete LinkedIn has become for me..
It just lives for being a "profile" of my professional journey and for Claude to look up someone's background.
But, all the work happens here on X (yes!), over text and emails.
FYSK is a community first venture capital fund:
• we showcase the best companies, invested or not
• our community created a small venture fund
• top Silicon Valley engineers, eager to join startups, are our fund's LPs
• we invest $100k in companies at Series A, when revenue
Truly, @foundersysk is my favorite evening of the whole month. That the startup energy in SF is tangible -- and magical.
A huge congrats and thank you to this month's founders for inspiring us all with your visions for the future ✨

at FYSK we feature *Founders*
could be CEOs, CTOs, COOs, VPs, etc, but they are all *Founders*
the best engineering talent is there to look the founders in the eyes, shake their hands, and get all their questions answered
the best talent isn't always super public about the fact that they're looking for a new role
you can DM us or apply to a showcase
you also get plausible deniability at the showcase since some people come just to browse 😉
