About Ropes

Ropes is building a new way for companies to hire talent, starting with a fundamentally better technical interview. We help staffing and recruiting firms fight fraud, identify top talent, and confidently market that talent to Fortune 500 companies and the best employers in the world.

Company highlights:

  • Talent-dense, capable team: We're a team of 10 from Penn, Stanford, Waterloo, Retool, MongoDB, and top tech companies with seed-stage headcount and Series A-type metrics

  • Well-capitalized: $3.1M seed round led by GSV Ventures & Boxgroup with angels from OpenAI, SpaceX, Retool, and more

  • Traction: We've flown past 7 figures in revenue, with dozens of enterprise staffing customers including the largest staffing firm in the world

  • Own outbound prospecting to staffing and recruiting firms, from initial research to booking qualified meetings

  • Build and refine target account lists, identifying the right companies and the right people within them

  • Craft personalized outreach that cuts through the noise and speaks to real pain points in technical hiring

Who You Are:
