AKASH SHAW

Today we launch the next chapter of Gushwork. Over the last 30 years, we saw commerce moving online - But what actually moved online were low value retail products: books, clothing, electronics. Anything high value, from $5,000 to $1M - a hydraulic crane, an industrial roofing contract, a heat shrink machine - still runs predominantly on human buyer seller conversations. And conversation was the one thing software couldn't do. That just changed. We are bringing 35 million sellers of high value products & services in the physical economy to the agentic web - One of the largest categories of commerce that barely moved online in the internet before AI.

Man! we are so screwed. We received over a 100 assignments for the role of Founder's Office - Growth. Each assignment submission is wrapper on the GPT's answers - even the folks who have really solid backgrounds on paper. This is just friggin' alarming! We are a fast-growing AI startup and I am all for taking help from ChatGPT - but forming your own original opinion and building & challenging GPT's thought process is also super critical. This is a highly entrepreneurial and data-driven role and the person is expected to own up a specific growth channel, run several 0 to 1 experiments in that channel in close proximity with the founders and once we see channel-market fit, we scale up the channel by hiring specialists to make yourself redundant. I'm posting the assignment link here - open invitation, DM me a submission of the assignment with minimum help from GPT or Claude - primary research is more valuable than ever before. I promise to read every single one of the assignments. Share your LinkedIn profile/portfolio/resume along with your submission - we are agnostic of experience or pedigree, just want to know your own individual journey. PS: Ideal folks for this role are usually strong left-brained people with a desire to strengthen their right-brain as well.
