How to join our team
Email us at careers@kiki.club with an intro, what you’ve worked on in the past (learnings, what went wrong/right) and why you’re excited about Kiki. Don’t be afraid to talk very transparently about your past and to show any ideas you have for Kiki in Figma/videos/anyway you like (we hate CVs because they tell us nothing about who you actually are, so please don’t send these). We’ve already had a lot of interest so we’ll jump into it and let you know ASAP if we’re keen to chat or not. Show us how much you want to join… the more you hustle us the better.
Anyone we meet now but don’t hire will likely have the chance to join very soon as our team’s growing from 3-6 now, 6-25 within 10 months and 25-100 a year later. So don’t stop doing epic shit! A motto we live by is to become a linear line, not a dot - this is the reason we secured one of the biggest seed checks Blackbird’s ever written after rejection for $150K USD 6 months’ prior. We built our Blackbird relationship for over a year, as they watched us execute, grew to trust that we could potentially achieve something never seen before, to leading with their $4.5m USD investment.
Become a linear line! See you in our inbox and we’ll screenshot it for 10 years from now when you're responsible for changing how the world lives ;)
