Founding Growth

FOUNDING GROWTH

- San Francisco, CA (In-Person)

- 100-130k Cash + Equity

Known is a matchmaker that talks to users and supports them like a friend. Our mission is to make finding love one of the defining achievements of abundant general intelligence.

Users join Known by telling us their life story. On average, they spend 27 minutes talking to our conversational AI, sharing the experiences, hopes, and complexities that make them who they are. This gives us an extraordinary depth of personal context, and an even greater responsibility to earn and protect the trust behind it.

We are a team of ex-founders, engineers, and go-to-market operators who've helped build and scaled some of the world's most influential consumer AI products, including Uber, Uber Eats, Airbnb, Bland, and Faire.

We love to work hard, with a high degree of autonomy and ownership. We work together in Cow Hollow, San Francisco.
