Building Percival: AI-powered data entry for wholesalers and distributors

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.

A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.

If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
