We help 850+ independent professional networks — including venture capital funds (Lerer Hippeau), accelerators (Techstars), membership communities (Chic Geek), economic development organizations (Launch Tennessee), universities (University of Toronto), and more — make better introductions for their members and measure the outcomes of their intros.
Our team:
- Techstars 2017 graduates.
- Our co-founders have been working together in the recruiting space for the last 10 years and are multi-time founders
- Remote-first company, from 2018 (before covid).
- 18 team members across 7+ countries (Hear from Ted & meet Thomas from our team).
- As a fully remote company, we don’t have offices, but we do get together virtually and in-person for Summits
How we work:
We set ambitious goals, but are mindful of realistic timelines. We trust our team members to work independently, prioritizing productivity and effectiveness over presenteeism. At Getro, you’ll have the autonomy to focus on projects that excite you while delivering high-impact results.
One last thing:
Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Getro we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
