What you likely need
You are a current co-founder and CTO of Checkr, a well-funded, high-growth background screening company backed by $459M in venture capital and Y Combinator. Your profile is strong on the builder and operator dimensions, with deep technical credibility and a long-tenured company. The next frontier is likely positioning yourself for a liquidity event or expanding your personal brand beyond Checkr.
Are these your current priorities?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- fundraisingEngage an investment bank or financial advisor to assess Checkr's IPO readiness, given the $600M ARR signal and $459M raised — the public markets window may be opening.
- positioningPublish more technical content on Medium or a personal blog about lessons from scaling Checkr's engineering org to 750+ employees, to build a distinct founder voice separate from the company.
- tacticalResume regular open-source contributions on GitHub — your last public push was nearly a year ago, and active OSS presence reinforces your CTO credibility in the market.
- introsConsider formalizing an angel investing practice — your YC S14 network and Checkr's brand give you strong deal flow access, and early-stage checks would diversify your portfolio.
- introsRe-engage the YC alumni network for strategic partnerships or enterprise customer introductions, especially given Checkr's expansion into 13 countries.
- positioningAccept more speaking engagements at engineering leadership conferences (like SFELC, where you've already appeared) to position yourself as a thought leader in AI-driven HR tech.
- wellbeingEnsure co-founder alignment with Daniel Yanisse on long-term exit strategy and equity structure ahead of any liquidity event, given the company's scale and funding history.
