🚀 Teams worth joining
Know a builder who is wasting their talent at a corporate? Forward this to them.
Gravis Robotics raised $200M from SoftBank at a $1B valuation. The ETH Zurich spinout turns existing Caterpillar and Volvo excavators into self-driving ones, live on dozens of sites already. They posted six roles in the last two weeks in Zurich. Apply here.
Callosum closed a $100M seed last week, led by Atomico. They're building the infra that routes AI workloads across chips with different architectures. The same day, they posted 12 new roles, including MTS but also Chief Of Staff roles. Check them out here.
Europe doesn't only need more driven founders, it also needs ambitious investors. Cherry Ventures is hiring an Investment Associate in Berlin, which mostly means finding the DACH teams before anyone else does. They backed 130+ companies including Proxima Fusion and Dash0. If you spent 2-4 years in product, growth, engineering or as a founder too, let us know here.
90/10 is building the AI interface for the construction industry, starting with how projects are won. They turn scattered documents into reliable, traceable offer calculations for electrical contractors. Backed by Founder Mode, they're looking for a Founding Engineer in Berlin to shape product, architecture and engineering culture alongside the founders. Apply here.
