Startup jobs posted by founders on X and Hacker News, each checked by hand
A job board that collects early engineering roles posted by startup founders themselves on X and Hacker News, verifies each listing, and provides direct founder
Overview

The DMtheFounder homepage
DMtheFounder is a job board for early-stage engineering roles at startups. The platform finds job postings made by founders themselves on X and Hacker News, verifies each one by hand, and displays them with company information and direct founder contact details. Rather than using recruiter forms or middlemen, job seekers can write directly to founders about opportunities.
Every listing is verified by confirming the original post exists and was written by someone at the company. The platform skips recruiter agencies and has a person review each role before publication. Listings include details about what the company builds, where it is located, and recent public funding information when available. Founders who submit roles directly are verified through company email domains or X account direct messages.
The site is free to browse, apply through, and for founders to post jobs. Job listings expire after 30 days unless the founder confirms they are still actively hiring. When applicants apply, their details are sent only to the founder of that company.

Buyer questions
How are roles verified?
Every listing links to the original post on X or Hacker News. The platform confirms the post exists and who wrote it, skips recruiters and agencies, and a person reviews each role before it goes live. Founders who submit roles directly are verified by company email domain or a direct message from their X account.
How is applicant data handled?
When you apply, your details are sent only to the founder of that company. The platform uses your email only to follow up on that application and does not sell or share it with anyone else. You can email support any time to have your data deleted.
Is there a cost to use DMtheFounder?
Browsing, contacting founders, posting a job and claiming a listing are all free today. If paid features are introduced in the future, the site will say so clearly before charging anything.
