Wellfound
The startup jobs graph (ex-AngelList Talent). Launch by hiring, not by upvotes.
Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) is how many startups hire and how many candidates still discover companies. A complete profile with a real launch post in the updates feed is useful. It is not a hunter board.
If you are not hiring, a thin Wellfound page is still a crawled company record. Keep it consistent with LinkedIn.
A room, not a submit form
Should you launch on Wellfound?
Launch here only if you can take the local rules and stay in the thread.
Wellfound rewards presence more than a scheduled card. You can show up without a huge graph, but you still have to participate — a link dump fails. Audience: Startup candidates and operators.
Do not stack this with another comment-heavy launch on the same morning. Show HN, Reddit, X, and Product Hunt all want the same hours.
When: A different day from Product Hunt. After the one-liner has survived a smaller room.
Launch here if
- Startups that will hire in the next year
- A public company URL besides the .com
- Founder updates that candidates actually read
Skip if
- Consumer launch week
- Paying for jobs you will not interview
- Replacing LinkedIn
This page answers Wellfound only. For an ordered stack by stage, buyer, and goal, use the shortlist recommender or the four-week sequence.
