This last Sunday morning, I was sat on my sofa, enjoying a freshly brewed coffee courtesy of my housemate, when I started thumbing through the mountain of unread email.
One little gem stood out. A total stranger, on the other side of the world, had discovered the Tonk developer tool, recorded a 7-minute video of them using it, along with live feedback on each step of the developer journey, and emailed me a comprehensive review.
I was so delighted. So delighted! Almost as much as Goblin Oats & Jack, who got stuck in hours later implementing fixes and new features.
Barely a month has passed since we started building our tool for "creating your own little internet", but the ecosystem is already humming into life. And we've got:
New community members every day, from all over the planet
New apps being built on the network
A university collaboration in the works
A hackathon coming up in a few weeks
An artist-technologist event around the corner
Product-Market Fit soonâ„¢
So - I am searching for outstanding programmers to grow the team at Tonk, help us take a next-gen developer tool to market, and achieve our vision of building a new internet (yes, really).
Right now I can say (with no small amount of patriotic pride) that we've managed to exclusively reverse-brain-drain from the USA. C'mon London, where are you at?
If you, or someone you know, wants to make the most of the AI revolution, in a mission-led startup, super ahead of the trend, alongside a cracked team (backgrounds at University of California, Berkeley, University of Cambridge, Airbnb, Yahoo, Epic Games, Ethereum Foundation, Entrepreneurs First ) then please apply.
No particular technical experience required since the network we're building has literally never been built before. All we need is for you to be hungry, humble & a superfast learner.
If you're looking for the pace & passion unique to San Francisco, but don't want to leave London's leafy paradise, this could be the challenge of a lifetime. We'll do our best to support you and build a generational innovation together.
