Process

How Vettly works

01

Scrape

We monitor monthly "Who is Hiring?" threads on HackerNews and other indie job boards, pulling every job post automatically.

02

Filter

AI-powered detection separates bootstrapped & indie companies from VC-funded corps. We look for keywords like "profitable", "small team", "self-funded".

03

Deliver

Structured data — company name, role, contact info — stored and ready. Connect talent to founders who truly need it.

Why it matters

Funding stage shouldn't determine access to great talent

Bootstrapped founders are too busy building to post on every job board. Recruiters waste hours digging through threads. Vettly bridges the gap.
