Excited to share that we've raised a $22.5m Series A for Hello Patient, led by Scale Venture Partners. This is by far the worst announcement video I've ever made. I can't believe our lead investor agreed to this

Merit First: No more interview scripts, just aptitude tests. But is that any better than dating apps where only 6’5 VP bros win? @Jack_Raines @angelesahr

The response to MeritFirst has been awesome - we are psyched. We are working through a big backlog of companies and candidates to onboard folks. If you haven't heard from us over email yet you will soon... and for general updates follow us for updates at @MeritFirstUS
Merit is no longer a dirty word, but assessing abilities (vs credentials) is deceptively hard. We’re proud to launch Merit First with @lessin & @slow: open, high-signal testing to connect exceptional talent & worthy efforts. Now live for cos/candidates! meritfirst.us
In 2025, merit is back in the USA. But merit needs better infrastructure. Too many are stuck in credentialism, filtering for elite degrees and (worse?) FAANG resumes. So, @lessin and I are launching Merit First! You can help by getting smart friends to take our new tests! 🧵
Today @JTLonsdale & I are excited to launch Merit First. Important missions require the best people. full stop. We are committed to helping orgs find the best talent through open testing. Take our alpha test, join as a company to access to our test-first pipeline today.
