America's frontier is in unlocking our hidden talent 🇺🇸
We raised $6M+ for @MeritFirstUS, co-led by @8vc (@JTLonsdale @andrewoetting) and @slow (@lessin) with participation from @rauchg to restore merit to hiring and help revitalize the American Dream, where opportunity is promised and outcomes are earned.
Five timed questions that test how well you think under pressure. Think you're good? Prove it.
Share your score and find out which of your friends you can beat.
Companies routinely reject people because they don't have an impressive school or recognizable names on their resume, without ever finding out what they're capable of.
That's a cowardly way to hire and a competitive advantage for anyone willing to do better. America has too much talent to keep wasting it.
P.S. We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer onsite in Austin, TX. linkedin.com/jobs/view/44784…

Our teams @tryramp & @MeritFirstUS hosted GTM Intelligence night this week in NYC, digging into how sales roles are evolving, how Ramp leverages AI across the team, and what it means for hiring and finding great talent.
Nothing beats having partners you genuinely enjoy working with. Our teams work incredibly hard, taking simple ideas very seriously (h/t Charlie Munger) - and it’s a blast to bring a big group together for a night like this.
@max11free - you’re a legend. Lucky to be able to learn from you.
Thanks to everyone who came out and made it possible. Let’s run it back!
We had a great time in NYC with Ramp this week! Thanks to everyone who joined us to talk about how AI is changing sales and GTM, and a big thank you to the @tryramp team for hosting with us.
New weekly challenge just dropped and it only takes 5 minutes. See if you can top the leaderboard.

Exceptional people rarely come from identical backgrounds.
The best teams recognize talent across different experiences, backgrounds, and ways of thinking. If you keep looking for the same credentials, you'll keep finding the same candidates.
America cannot afford to keep making the same mistake.
If you're interested in actually hiring based on merit for your own team - get in touch: meritfirst.us
A new weekly challenge dropped. Can you top the leaderboard? Good luck.

To find great builders, you have to let them build. Our engineering team has been cooking up some very cool things for Virtual Desktop assessments. 💥
Currently building an OS that runs within your browser tab using @vercel sandboxes. Here we have a real claude code instance running headless inside the VM, building an isometric animation rendered by a browser-within-a-browser.
We're using this setup to power immersive work sim assessments at @MeritFirstUS
New weekly challenge just dropped.
Think you can top the leaderboard? Only one way to find out.
